 The project file, example_app_nvopencl.vcproj, is in "boinc/win_build/".
-OpenCL doesn't have emulation mode, 
-but it could run on CPU alone by specifying CL_DEVICE_TYPE_CPU or CL_DEVICE_TYPE_ALL when creating an OpenCL context.
 
 The executable file can be found at "boinc/win_build/Build/Win32/build_mode/"
 (build_mode could be release or debug). 
+
+Upon running the executable file, you might encounter the following error:
+{{{
+This application has failed to start because OpenCL.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
+}}}
+To fix this problem, you will need to install the Cuda Developer Driver for Windows, 
+which can only be done when your machine has an NVIDIA Cuda-enabled GPU.
