Here's a new one.... I have seen this happen 3 times this afternoon. I'll have the BOINC window on the screen and after a minute or so it will just disappear. When I hover my cursor over the icon in the tray, it will also disappear. What's with this??? Maybe this is a question for what used to be called "service". <p>Rick A. - BOINC not getting results....</p> |

This is just a WAG, if you are not familiar with that term it means, wild a** guess. All drivers up to date, BIOS flashed, memory checked and ok, no conflicts with other programs, unistall and reinstall Boinc......But remember it is just a WAG....... Bah!!! I am in it for the money.

> Are you, by any chance, on a network? And do you connect to the Internet through a proxy server? If this is the case, then you have hit a known problem. BOINC can successfully download WUs through the proxy server, but it can't return the results. For now there is only a circumvention available - use the Proxomitron. See http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=603. See also http://www.osiris-network.de/seti/ for detailed setup instructions. |

(Well, other than the general BOINC troubles, but those have nothing to do with proxies.) The problem I heard about was with proxies that require authentication. |

> The problem I heard about was with proxies that require authentication. That is correct -- sorry for being unclear on that detail. |
