Wondering if somebody could point me in the right direction. Seti appears to have completely disappeared from my boinc client. It last contacted the server on the 27th Jan.

I know it was failing to get tasks since the upgrade. I have been a bit busy with other stuff and hadn't got around to fixing it - if I remember rightly I did try to download a file to upgrade the lunatics app but couldn't open it. I do know I never changed anything to the app info file - which I suspected I needed to do but didn't have the chance.

I don't want to do anything drastic as I would prefer to keep the stats for 'this pc'. I have rebooted and tried restarting boinc etc. but it still does not appear in my projects list - neither does the graphs that show each project. mmm just noticed Rosetta has also disappeared.

I am running win 7 64 bit boinc 7.4 and was using lunatics app v0.43a (I think).

I have looked in boinc - projects and the seti folder is still there. is there an easy way to get things back to normal and keep the stars for this pc

Try to 'Add' SETI@home project again


I did try to download a file to upgrade the lunatics app but couldn't open it.

Use 7-Zip

I have looked in boinc - projects and the seti folder is still there.

Maybe the account_setiathome.berkeley.edu.xml file is corrupted (which should be shown in the first 40 lines of Event Log (Ctrl+Shift+E))

Instead of 'Add' SETI@home project again you may try to copy this file from another of your computers
All account_*.xml files of projects are in BOINC Data directory

wasn't sure which xml file I should have been looking for. If seti is on another Pc it will be a really old version. In the end I just went ahead and re-added it, only showing the one active PC on my account page so it seems to have picked up the correct id - probably helps that there are the odd v7 client result trickling in as they are being validated.

Back up and running so all is good.

Thanks
