Now everything is ok! :) Seti welcome me back;) Keep crunching guys :P Boinc, like almost all Windows programs, loads stuff all over the harddrive when it installs. Just copying the program files will not get all the files it needs. One thing I understand Apple does MUCH better. ID: 430047 ·

Reinstalled Vista RC1 twice same problem. Ended up with lost data due to coruppted backup hard drive. Now I am stuck with my other old computer (WIN XP) This computer has been crunching wu for almost 3 years and no major problems. I would be very carefull with the Vista RC1. Another thing about Vista it doesn't support my Samsung laser printer. I am going back to WIN XP. ID: 434230 ·

Of cource windows XP is more stable at the moment! this is why all vista drivers are in beta form.. Don't hurry. If you want to try them , just be kind ;) Download drivers for your graphics card and do a clean istall.. My Boinc is running for 4-5 days now without any problem. My average credits haven't changed so it has the same speed. Good luck Vista testers! Firegate_13 Was Here! BeWare! Patras Wireless Metropolitan NetWork ID: 434329 ·
