Hello Lucia
I am sorry to say that I celebrated the fix too soon. Although the processing got much further along than before, I eventually received Timeout error messages and the familiar “Failed to initialize CUDA device(s)” message.
I retried numerous times, rebooting the system a few times just to be sure there wasn’t anything “residual” and waiting 15 minutes after the reboot to ensure that the CPU wasn’t being throttled by startup processes.
I fear that my system simply doesn’t have the requisite horsepower.
Thank you very much for your help and if you have any ideas on how to throttle back the timers I would be more than happy to experiment.
Best Regards,
Edward
