Can't update to latest version... [SOLVED]

I just upgraded to vs. 2, but when I open the new OctaneServer, I get an error message that
cuMemHostRegister_v2 wasn't found in DLL-library C:\Program Files\OctaneServer\octane.dll.

And the new Blender version can't see my GPU's (though they're recognized by OR Standalone) - the only option is CPU...

What's wrong?

SPECS: i7-4820K 3.70GHz, 16 GB RAM, Win 8.1., 2 x GTX Titan, latest Win/Titan drivers. As for the new Blender and OctaneServer; I downloaded both from the forum - I'm not supposed to download anything else, right?

EDIT: I downloaded an earlier version of the OctaneServer (2.06), and that seems to work. I also tried three previous versions of Blender (7.4, 7.3 and 7.1), but they don't see my GPU's, either.

Thank you. As for the OctaneServer error messages: I reinstalled the program and suddenly it worked; perhaps because I also reinstalled NVIDIAs latest driver.

And you know what? Import Images as Planes works now, too! [EDIT: OK, I was wrong about Import as Planes; it doesn't work.]

But one thing I still don't get: Is F12 supposed to give you a Blender render? (I assume that's what it is, judging by the window title -- and as you can see on the attached image it doesn't work.)

Isn't F12 supposed to give you an Octane render?

[Thank you again for the project, mib!]

You can't render the live preview and F12 render at the same time. The render server can do only one job at the time.

Ah OK, thank you!
