I have set my generak prefs to 3 days...cleaned out all my work..and the re-installed 5.8.16 instaed of 5.10.12. Restarted BOINC, it says that it is reading my Home Prefs, but then the above message occurs right after and gives me only 2 tasks...do not know where the "preferences Override File is located...any thoughts??? |

I have set my generak prefs to 3 days...cleaned out all my work..and the re-installed 5.8.16 instaed of 5.10.12. Look for global_prefs_override.XML located in the BOINC directory (folder). I did not know they were up to 5.10.12 I'm still running 5.10.7 without any problems. Sir Arthur C Clarke 1917-2008 |
