Welcome to the F@H Support forum, I hope your day gets better!

You have a R7 2x0 with the Hawaii architecture (Graphics Core next, gen 2) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_ ... generation
That is a supported GPU that should be able to fold if the driver came from AMD, not Microsoft. MS does not include OpenCL, and your log indicates it is missing: OpenCL: Not detected

AMD makes it hard to link to the download, here is as close as I can get:

CPU folding is not very effective.
About 10x less efficient than mid range graphics cards, and about 100x less efficient than top tier graphics cards.
If you only want to fold from CPU, remove the GPU slot in fah control settings, or fold from the native client from a chrome browser:

The fundamental problem is something that happened during the installation. Ordinarily, the installation script asks you what name/team/passkey you want to use and then it completes the installation process. Obviously that didn't happen.

21:48:20: <!-- Folding Slots -->
21:48:20:</config>

I'm not sure how you did that but if you remember, let us know so we can help others avoid doing the same thing.

Second: FAHClient is designed to run either as a Windows service (for CPU folding, only) or as something very much like a Windows service (which can also fold on a GPU). Either way, you can manage the client with FAHControl or with Webcontrol.

While I can give you instructions on how to fix this problem, the simplest option is to re-install -- and if you really do not want to use your GPU, choose to install as a service. If you later decide you want to use your GPU, download the drivers from AMD/Ati per JimboPalmer's instructions above and reinstall again.

Well, apparently they're no longer packaging OpenCL with their graphics drivers. Try https://www.amd.com/en-us/solutions/pro ... hpc/opencl

Your using the Windows Update installed driver more often than not the Windows Update installed versions do not come with OpenCl drivers included as it's just a basic AMD Catalyst or Adrenalin driver

What you need to do is grab the driver from AMD themselves from here https://www.amd.com/en/support

install it restart windows and restart F@H

The OpenCL driver should only be used for GPU folding, so it may be a red herring.
