CryptoLego: I don't get it ... you have basically the same set up as me yet I get the dreaded "Unable to query CUDA driver" ... what have you installed that I have not??

Any suggestions would be great!

I noticed that, but I'm such a noob at this I was not sure what to suggest.

I did receive a similar error when I first ran cudaminer. I realized it was due to a syntax error. I was not using the -u and -p flags for username and password. I pulled a example from the server pool that I am using and I noticed the difference.
I'm not sure what else to suggest.
Hopefully, someone with more experience will be able to assist you.
