Could you translate that to nub language? Can't I just open the application and it starts to mine? (from CPU by default, but tweaking it to use GPU?)

I tried using a 5850 on Server 2008.  Couldn't get it to work.  I don't know if I just didn't find the right drivers or what, but I couldn't get my miner to detect the presence of the GPU.  I've gotten it working just fine on the other 6 machines I mine on (with XP, Vista, or W7 installs) though...

Huh. Perhaps that was just dumb luck. :( I would think it wouldn't matter if it was Win7 64 or 2008R2. Especially now with RemoteFX.
