I have built and post 4.07 which also includes all the latest language file updates for the GUI. If you have a Win98 or WinME system that is suffering from lock-ups or crashes, upgrade to one of the new versions. We'll continue letting 4.07 cook in Alpha for a bit longer before releasing it to the public. ----- Rom BOINC Development Team, U.C. Berkeley |

Thanks very much. So I don't need it as I'm on Win98SE for the one system concerned. (The rest all run Linux). |

My two PC's that had problems are running version version 4.06 now for over 24 hours. CPU benchmark, downloading of WU's, sending results and reporting to the scheduler without any problems (client: setiathome 4.03). Just upgraded to 4.07, running smoothly at the moment. Except that one machine is not able to upload results, but may be there is a server problem at the moment? The systems are: PIII 2.26 GHz - Windows Me PII 266 MHz - Windows 95 (don't tell me it's old, I know :-) ) |

It's over 24 hours with version 4.06 running very well, both in the background, and as a screen saver. I have experienced absolutely no problems. Of course, I still cannot put a password on the screen saver. (Just a reminder.) Thanks again to Walt Gribben and Rom Walton.

Isn't open source wonderful? Can you imagine if this was Microsoft? They'd sell you an upgrade - in a years time. And it would have bugs. -- john |

I have W98se and was running V3.20 and want to go V4 now in process of D/L http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/boinc_alpha/download/boinc_4.06_windows_intelx86.exe and http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/boinc_alpha/download/boinc_4.07_windows_intelx86.exe which is safer to install at this time. |

Great and fast job done. The 4.06 ran without any single problem/error crunching, up/downloading, updating on my 98SE/Duron. Congratulations |

I upgraded to 4.06 earlier today, and it seemed to be going good, but it froze again about 4 hours ago (I just got back to an internet connection -- this is the laptop I take with me to and from classes) I'm on Windows XP (I upgraded because although the warnings were all for ME and 98, I had been having the problems with computation ceasing without reason and being forced to reset the project. Unfortunately, while I was able to successfully compute and report 2 work units, the third froze 18:38 into it) |

Including slowing down or stopping the clock. Ver 3.xx never did this. I have P4 1.5ghz 256meg ram with windows ME. Not the fast machine, but I would think it would work.

thanks. I have been running for a couple hours now, 4.05 wouldn't make it 20 minutes. [/url] |

I've just noticed with 4.06 on 98SE when a wu (any project) switches to preempted it is actually still running. The cpu time continues to increment and I can see both projects listed in the task manager. Is this an issue that is addressed in 4.07 or is it just me? [/url] |

> BOINC CC 4.07 can get downloaded from here: > > http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/boinc_alpha/download/boinc_4.07_windows_intelx86.exe Thanks Rom. I am running XP and everything has been working fine so far. Is this update only for 98 users or should we all install it. I guess not but I remember you posted something before saying that all Win version were affected so... Thanks Marc |

After finishing a unit my Boinc 4.06 /Seti did not start the next unit on my WinME. I learned that ithe program ddhelp.exe was not responding, so seti was not able to start the next. Did anyone have the same problem? <a>http://boinc.mundayweb.com/seti2/stats.php?userID=1236[/url] |
