6.2.18 & BAM.

Have set NNT (via BAM) on 2 systems as they will be collected by customers tomorrow afternoon. Customers ok with boinc on their rigs. Reason for NNT is that they won't be on the net until the connections are done early next week.

Just finishing ensuring everything is in order before rigs are packed & noticed that they are both d/l'ing wu's, even though they have been sync'ed with BAM.

Never had this problem with 5.10.45. Is this a 6.2.18 or BAM problem?

Day 5 & it's done it again. Reboot clears problem. If it still happens by day 7, will switch back to 5.10.45.

Done it again, so 6.2.18 uninstalled. Reverted to 5.10.45. Unfortunately, in doing so, lost 18 wu's, so apologies to wingmen.

I see that BOINC 6.2.19 is out.
Question: worth the bother of upgrading? I only crunch here, Einstein, MW and PrimeGrid. I'm Windows Vista Home Premium (SP1) in AMD 2.4 ghz dual core.
So, should I?

[edit] I've not had any problems with .18 so far :)[/edit]

I'm perfectly content with 5.10.45 but I hear projects like Pirates are forcing use of newer Boinc versions

I also crunch at PrimeGrid (and other BOINC projects) some of which have had 6.XX/XX problems so I was just looking for a broad view as to if I should update in regards to the overall BOINC world.
I have asked at PrimeGrid but not yet at Einstein or MW. I haven't had any issues at any of my projects with .18, but was just wondering.

I've tried BOINC 6.2.18/16/14 on 3 PC's now, 2 C2Q, one running VISTA(32) and one on XP64, also on a Pentium Dual-Core (P4D;Smithfield), runs XP32 Home.
On all 3 host's noticed the same kind off error's (GetSharedMem), also random reBOOT's, without any traceble cause yet.
Also problems with graphic card's. And some kind off interaction with 32BIT EINSTEIN, wich also produces error's. I've tested the 32BIT handling (SiSoftSandra) and found nothing, all test and benchmarks went smooth and OK.
Only thing left, going back to 5.10.45, on wich I never seen such strange error's.(And still use Crunch3r's 6.1.0 on one host.)
If my healt wasn't in such a bad condition*, I would have tried to figure out, or debug version 6.2.xx.
Do need surgery and am now on heavy (nico-morfin)painkillers :(

Fred,
Not sure what's wrong with your setups, but I've been running 6.2.18 on 3 or 4 rigs (WinXP and Vista) for awhile without any problems. I've slowly been converting my 5.10.45 rigs to the 6.2.18/19 version.

I will leave at least one at 5.10.45 (it's an old P3) that runs LHC and a few other projects because of LHC's problems right now with 6.x.

I did try to run my quad 6600 on 6.3.10 for a little while, for GPUGRID, but due to problems with BOINCview and the graphics drivers, I moved back to 6.2.18.
