Tried to get the answer in newbies section but no luck
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=382297I'm trying to make cudaminer 2013.12.18 (or any of them) work on my test machine: Asus 1215N ion which supports cuda. Win7x64SP1 (tried on Win8.1x64 too)
I installed Visual Studio 2008 + C++ redistributables + cuda toolkit + sdk 3.2 & drivers which were included in toolkit. First it was done on Win8.1x64 machine, then I installed Win7x64SP1 MSDN + all updates + drivers from Asus + cuda ...
When I run cudaminer I get:
c:\cudaminer\x64>cudaminer
*** CudaMiner for nVidia GPUs by Christian Buchner ***
This is version 2013-12-18 (beta)
based on pooler-cpuminer 2.3.2 (c) 2010 Jeff Garzik, 2012 pooler

But if I run devicequery & bandwidthTestI successfully get:

Also all Cuda C samples from NVIDIA GPU Computing SDK 3.2 Browser work correctly!
I tried all versions of cudaminer from
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=167229.0So how can I make cudaminer to recognize cuda?!
BTW I cannot run devicequery or bandwidthTest from anywhere, only from C:\ProgramData\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA GPU Computing SDK 3.2\C\bin\win64\Release (or NVIDIA GPU Computing SDK 3.2 Browser app). Is it normal or maybe some path should be set manually?
I tried to configure it manually like here:
http://coitweb.uncc.edu/~abw/SIGCSE2011Workshop/ConfiguringVSforCUDA.pdf but it's still the same
Help!
Best regards,
Val
