	It looks like recently that my machine started to use the "acemdbeta" instead of the usual "acemd", which had been running fine. The computation seems to fail out each time; errors below.

Given these are beta WU's, you shouldn't expect them to work 100%. The error rate in these should be greater than the non-beta WU's. There is an option in the GPUGrid preferences to elect not to receive beta WU's if you don't want some failed WU's.

I intentionally selected the option to run "test" applications and I don't have a problem with a few blowing up. However, every WU has errored out almost immediately in this fashion since the new acemdbeta was downloaded, so I wanted to make sure it was reported. I wasn't sure where else to report this beside the forum.

	hi, we are looking into it. thanks. gdf [EDIT the last ones seem to work. I don't know if it was a particular batch or it is your machine]

	Hmm, OK. I'm waiting to get my new daily quota to see if it continues to blow up. If there is any additional information or troubleshooting you want me to try, please let me know...happy to do it.

	My 9600gso / linux box started getting mostly errors this week as well. This machine was getting an error every month or two before this weeks problems. The wu's don't appear to be beta ( 325-GIANNI_DOPd-2-25-RND0623 ) and are finished by someone else. I updated to the latest greatest cuda driver today so will see if that helps.
