Still can't get cgminer to use my Geforce GTS 250

I have been struggling with this for a few weeks now.  I still can't get cgminer to use my GPU.  The programs's -n argument does list the GPU, but it can't use it for some reason.  I figured I would post here and see if someone else has the same problem.


# cgminer -n

  1. I'm seeing this same thing with cgminer 3.3.4 on an NVS 310. FYI. Same OpenCL and CUDA versions.
