	so what is the credit limit that i need to have as i got so far 3,125? You have to be actively crunching. Your RAC (Recent average credit) is 0.08 which means you haven't actively participated in the project for some time. You're RAC has to be above 1 to be allowed to post in forums other then the help section of the board. ____________ Questions? Answers are in the "Unofficial" BOINC Wiki.

	You'll have to install BOINC on a computer and attach it to SETI@home. Then you let BOINC download work, run it on your computer and upload it again. After the work is validated, you'll receive credit. Beware that attaching, down- and uploading is only possible from Friday to Monday (inclusive) due to the extended weekly outage.

	You have Credit: 100,155 If you talk about RAC: 0 obviously you didn't computed anything for SETI in the last months (using this "Coco" account) Recent Average Credit (RAC) http://www.boinc-wiki.info/Recent_Average_Credit Everybody have Account key and Weak account key (NEVER post the actual keys anywhere - consider them "passwords") "My messages always say using the wrong URL": Copy & Paste a few (5-10 lines?) of messages here (click - Shift-click - use the button on the left "Copy selected messages") "I've left my pc go for 24 hours a day. I also due work on the pc": You always can use Windows Task Manager to check which programs (processes) are running and which take most of the CPU time. "Yes, also on a team": team doesn't matter http://www.boinc-wiki.info/Team You can find many answers it the BOINC Glossary http://www.boinc-wiki.info/Category:BOINC_Glossary ____________ - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :)

	Check to see what is using your CPU. You may have malware doing something on your computer. There are also a couple of settings for maximum CPU usage before BOINC stops running in order to allow the computer to be responsive. First report on what is taking all the CPU time though. ____________ BOINC WIKI
