Posted 8 Aug 2008 by RRipley Post: I've closed the thread too early, because one more question came up ;) I know that there are only a few AP WU's out there, but how do I verify that BOINC recognized both applications entered in app_info.xml? The message "Found app_info.xml; using anonymous platform" just tells me, that BOINC found that file. Any hint? |

Posted 8 Aug 2008 by RRipley Post: I wonder what happens to Astropulse if I'm running S@H as optimized application via anonymous platform (using app_info.xml). Does BOINC still download the AP application no matter which application is used for S@H? If not, what to do then? |

Posted 24 Feb 2006 by RRipley Post: 2. Using "MSCONFIG" to show the automatically starting programs in Windows, Boinc has this description: I'm helping MJ: The startup programs are the ones you can see in your Programs -> Autostart folder. Do a right click over BOINC Manager, head to the comment field and shorten the text.

Posted 24 Feb 2006 by RRipley Post: ***Additional information*** Well, usually a simple restart of BOINC Manager solves this problem. AFAIK there are no registry entries that are required for running boinc.exe. It just has to be in the same directory as the manager (which I guess it is). If you are running BOINC as service, you should check if the password for the executing account is set correctly since Windows is "forgetting" it rarely or if you of course changed your login password for Windows. Simply move to the Administrative Tools (under Sys config) and start Services. In the windows look for BOINC and check it's state. If it's not running, start it. If it's then popping up an error, tell us - otherwise look into the Event manager for error messages according to BOINC. Usually no work is lost - everything is stored in your projects directory. |

Posted 23 Feb 2006 by RRipley Post: Looking over the source code of BOINC it seems that you have the permissions to install it as a service, but you don't have the execution rights to start the service. The error message is indeed misspelled in the BOINC code. Did you install BOINC as a service as local administrative user? |

Posted 14 Feb 2006 by RRipley Post: Just to follow up, I hadn't any freezing WUs since I turned off the SETI screensaver, apparently it was the culprit. Well I think the Screensaver is fine - it's the OpenGL implementation of your graphics card that is the culprit. It seems to me that it isn't implemented well and I presume that Berkeley is using standard OpenGL methods to create the graphics. |
