http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=4153243 It is a prescott (p4 521) chip running the kwsn optimized app (v2.4, SSE3, Intel P4) I suspect the problem is related to the fact that I am using vista. Boinc is running as a service, under an administrative username. (I tried using an admin, because my usual routine of using a standard user gave the same error, and I assumed the user permissions were at fault.) I am not familiar with vista :( Any help is much apreciated! |

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=4153243 As a starter, with Vista you should be using the appropriate 2.4V Opt App from Crunch3r's site. The KWSN Opt Apps are not Vista compatible. F. |

Well thanks again, but now I'm getting a different error: from the result: <core_client_version>5.10.35</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> CreateProcess() failed - The system cannot find the file specified. (0x2) </message> ]]> Sorry for not making it a link before. Here's the host |

Well thanks again, but now I'm getting a different error: The other key thing about Vista environment is that the Boinc folder should be loaded anywhere except the default location of C:\\Program Files\\Boinc. E.g. Set it up as C:\\Boinc. Vista puts severe access constraints on folders under Program Files. F. |

Well thanks again, but now I'm getting a different error: OK, Thanks. Is there doco anywhere on what permissions the boinc service and folder need under Vista? I don't like giving a service like this one more permissions than it needs... |

I can't find a specific document on this and I am not a Vista user. But, as I understand it the permissions are nothing special - just the ability to read from and write to its own home folder. With UAC (User Access Control) activated under Vista I understand that the ability to write to folders within C:\\Program Files is blocked, hence the need for Boinc to be located elsewhere. We are promised a proper fix for this in V6. There is some discussion on a similar topic (though not specifically for Vista) in this thread. F. |
