No problems here either.

Running over 10 weeks now.

Maybe deinstal and reinstal could fix your problems.

I have Vista and it works fine as well

With each crime and every kindness we birth our future.

BOINC runs great on my Vista machine.

Gentlemen --

Here is an XP-to-VISTA transition history of mine, which may provide you with a little added insight on what may have caused various types of failures, under VISTA, of my BOINC projects: SETI@home, climateprediction,net (It did fail, ultimately), Einstein@Home, rosetta@home, and lhcathome (not an active issue; it was "suspended").

1) Transferred all BOINC files from HP Presario 3000 (with WinXP, one cpu) to Sony VAIO (with WinVISTA, "Business"; dual cpu's); a 4GB "flash" drive was used.

Note: I don't believe that transferring these types of files from XP to VISTA should have been the cause of any problems, but am listing, FYI.

2) Re-downloaded/installed BOINC, ver. 5.8.16.

Note1: The BOINC software may/may not have been loaded/installed via the usual Program Files\\BOINC approach; the same for the "flash" drive transfer -- they may/may not have been installed using two different initial procedures*.

* Ref. "Windows Vista, Inside Out", E. Bott, C. Siechert, C.Stinson,
"Working with (and Around) Protected Mode", pp. 880-881, Microsoft Press.

Note2: I should have read this before initiating the transfer.

3) Reset all five projects


Resolution:

1) Uninstalled BOINC

2) Re-installed BOINC (Seti)

Note3: VISTA "protected mode" approach used; i.e., I made no changes to the recommended install locations.

Note4: Also, per John McLeod, the "all user account" option was taken.


Results: No pblms., after approx. 1.5 hrs run-time. 2ea seti pgrms. completed ~22%, and climateprediction.net, rosetta@home presently running.

Conclusion: I shall let the chips fall as they may, under VISTA, and not try to force any downloads/installs to any other locations.


Hopefully, the above has proved as enlightening to one and all, as it
has to me.


Best wishes to all,


Jim Martin

So far, so good, after switching from BOINC 5.8.16 to BOINC 5.9.3
(Failures ultimately, re-occurred, under the former rev.).

Good number-crunching, to everyone; esp. to all w/VISTA.
