Intel i7-4510U - Intel HD 4400 (driver 10.18.10.3496) - 8GB Ram

Maybe a newer display driver will help: see https://downloadcenter.intel.com/search?keyword=4th+Generation+Intel%C2%AE+Core%E2%84%A2+Processors+with+Intel%C2%AE+HD+Graphics+4400

Thank you very much for explaining the issue, and for editing my app_info.xml; I am always apprehensive when getting error messages that I don't understand.

I have copied your edited data (thanks for the tip regarding quoting before copying) and it seems that the error, as expected, does no longer occur.

Thanks! (Although I do not understand the "long weekend", as the weekend hasn't even started yet...)

Anyway, I assume we will get new work next week.

Any known cause? I don't see an announcement anywhere...

I was running another BOINC project since I couldn't get any SETI@home work units.

However, when I came to my computer this morning, it was happily running SETI@home again.

Problem solved, I guess.

Windows 7; latest BOINC Manager; latest SETI@home software.

A few days ago I wanted to make a complete system backup, so I let all downloaded units process by setting No New Tasks (I didn't want to restore old units if it ever comes to a restore).

After completing the backup, I set it back to New Tasks, but no new tasks would download. Something like 'No new tasks available' was displayed.

Have we finished processing all available units, or is there something wrong with my system?

Post:
Files setiathome_5.15_AUTHORS, setiathome_5.15_COPYING, setiathome_5.15_COPYRIGHT, setiathome_5.15_README are in Unix format - lines ending in LF (0x0A) only. Windows text file lines should end with both CR (0x0D) and LF (0x0A). [This can be automatically achieved by doing an FTP transfer in ASCII mode from Unix to Windows.]

Also, in order to automatically open a text viewer (Notepad), the files should have an extension of .TXT

- Did you allow Boinc.exe to be server? No.



I think you might need to allow Boinc.exe to be a server in the trusted zone.

I don't have boinc.exe (BOINC client) allowed access as a server (Server: ?, ?), but it works fine. [ZA Free 6.5.737, BOINC 5.4.11]

20) Questions and Answers : Windows : How is BOINC 5.4.9 different from earlier versions? (Message 303252)
Posted 12 May 2006 by Profile pwillener
Post:
As BOINC 5.4.9 is now the "official" version, I downloaded and installed it. Works fine! However...

I have ZoneAlarm installed, which has an icon in the systray that indicates when network traffic is going on. And since running 5.4.9 the traffic signal is constantly blinking.

I have not seen this with the previous version 5.2.13, so I wonder if 5.4.9 is supposed to do that.

I am not worried; I know that it is probably just communicating with the localhost, but constantly...?

Anyone else seeing that? Comments?
