	Since Windows GPU units are on hold for awhile, I decided to try CPU units. I have "use CPU" check yes (top and bottom of preferences) and "Quantum Chemistry" checked "yes". Server status shows ~10,000 Quantum Chemistry units, yet I keep getting this message: 7/17/2018 9:18:35 PM \| GPUGRID \| No tasks are available for Quantum Chemistry Am I missing something?? ____________

	... Am I missing something?? If I am not mistaken, the CPU tasks work on Linux only.

	Yup, I see you only have Windows PCs.

	... Am I missing something?? If I am not mistaken, the CPU tasks work on Linux only. Well, that would explain it! But how am I supposed to know that? I haven't seen anywhere on the site that shows what applications are available for which systems -- or even what applications are available period, for that matter!

	The standard BOINC format works, but isn't linked anywhere. https://www.gpugrid.net/apps.php It's a bit of a mess at the moment, because the Windows GPU apps have been removed. Two older Windows CPU (Quantum Chemistry) apps are listed, but I think they failed to work and have been discontinued. There is a Windows Beta QC app shown, which may still be active.

	Not very helpful if it isn't linked . . . :-( If you're familiar with the standard suite of boinc tools from any other project, you can type the addresses manually - doesn't have to be a link.

	how can i doo this? This depends on your distribution. On mine (OpenSuSE) I have a Yast tool which allows me to make a software update, but most of the times I get the updates from SuSE which asks me if I want to install them, unlike Windows 10. Tullio

	sorry, i forgot to write... you need x64 linux, i would recommend Linux Mint, its really easy, and you should habe a disk of about 50 gig minimum for os and the cpu wus

I see a list of projects that are supposed to be working in Windows 64 bit platforms. However for quite some time now I am not getting any tasks. I reset the project and there are still no tasks for Windows 64 at least for my computer. Any ideas whats going on? No CPU and no GPU tasks. Just not tasks are available.

	When GPUGrid's Server Status says that there are no Unsent tasks of a given Application, that means that the scientists have no work available for that Application. At the top right of any page, click Server Status. https://www.gpugrid.net/server_status.php Also, if you want to see what platforms a given app is available for, then check the Apps page, here: http://www.gpugrid.net/apps.php Sometimes, our CPU and GPU resources will have to work on work from other projects. It's really that simple.
