I have been running seti just fine on the garage cruncher for over a year and all of a sudden it isn't working. I noticed this around january 31st. I have been busy with other things, so I haven't payed much attention to it since I have another pc working 24/7 also. I tried to download the latest version of seti v7 with neg results. This pc has been rock solid with no errors for a long time. Now I'm getting a notice that reads; your app_info.xml file doesn't have a usuable version of seti2 home version 7. What do I do? Please help me if you can. Seti is running on this pc, but it won't let me see what it's doung. The Nvida card is not running. Back it the day when it was working I was running two tasks at once on this old machine. |

If not, the nVidia GPU has probably failed. Assuming the monitor has not. Try a full power down, unplug, wait a few minutes, and restart. If you get it going, then you need to run the new Lunatics installer to update your opti apps. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Ok. Every thing is running like the monitor and what not, and seti is running one task, and quake watcher is also working. So is it the new lunitics app I need to get up and running to full speed? AK_VB8_win_sse is running at 99% cpu. |

AK_VB8_win_sse is running at 99% cpu. Yes, I think so. Download the installer here. Best to manually shut down Boinc first, although the installer does try to shut it down and restart it. Run the installer, make your selections if different than the defaults on the first window, skip the second window (ATI GPUs), and in the third window make your GPU selections....whether you wish to run AP on the GPU (I would), and which version of the app you wish to run. I think 3.2 would be the best for your card. It may already be the default selection. If you choose to run AP on the GPU, I would free up 1 of the CPUs for it. You also may need to go into your Seti@home account preferences and change them to allow v7 work. Reboot, or make sure that Boinc has restarted. Feel free to ask if you have questions on any of the above. Happy crunching. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Man I'm lost. getting bummed out on this. I go to the Lunatics apps, and not really sure which one to download, and when I found one and tried to download it, I get this windows site that wants me to find a online a zip file opener. I've never done that, and didn't have to do that on any of the lunatics apps I've used before. It's been awhile since I messed with this stuff, and I had a good idea what I was doing. Now I don't know what the heck is going on here. I just want it to work. :-)> |

Try this link to the 32 bit installer. If you want to keep things as simple as possible, do not select AP. You may still have to go to your preference page to tell it to allow the new v7 work. I have to go to work shortly, but if you still have any questions, hopefully somebody else will be by to give you a hand. Don't give up just yet, my friend.

^^^^^^^^ Thank you very much. I may just have to walk away for awhile. I'm getting bummed out. I really want this pc to get back up and running since I have devoted a lot of time on this project. |

You will. Trust me, the kittyman knows how frustrating working through problems can be. Take a walkabout and come back to it later. Somebody here will get you through it, one question at a time if need be. Meow. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

MSATTLER, Thank you very very much. I did what you said and the old Garage Cruncher is cranking it out, and I am very pleased. Again thank you soooo much. You made my day and then some. It sure is nice to know that people out there are willing to help someone in need. I know it wasn't a big deal in the grand scheme of thing's, but it was a big deal to me. I want to participate to this project as much as I can. Thanks again |

MSATTLER, Good to hear! Glad you got it all sorted. Gave me a smile on my face before going off to work. Meow! "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |
