Hello,
how long can I use the older version of SETI ?
The new boinc ?? Version is to big for my pc at work ;-) You need admin rights to install because of the 10mb or other facts.... The older version was better and easier to install seti webmasters !!!!!

I think you will loose a lot of peoples which has the older SETI version at work !!!

Does anybody know how I can turn around in these ADMIN question without ADMIN rigths under WIN2000 ?
Lucky about every answer ;-)

thx first.
Greg

Hi Greg,

you can run the old software until classic is shut down, currently scheduled for Dec-15.

I can't help you with your other request since the software alone needs more than 10MB of HD space, and you'll need some space for chaching WUs, too.

You might ask your employer if he'll allow you to run BOINC.

Regards Hans

P.S: If I was you, I'd ask _after_ seti classic is shut down ;-)

Hi, try installing v 4.45 instead. It's around 6 MB and it works just fine. Save the 4.45 file to your computer until you uninstall the previous version.

Could you provide more information on the Admin rights question?

This Boinc version doesn't work at work, too.
My admin doesn't give me a permission :-(

What a lousy tool....the older one was much better and easier .....
