Hi

I installed Boinc on my sons machine and he wants different pictures in the graphics.
I set default location to shool but the cli message shows no location for hom using your defaults.

How will this work?

Make sure that you go to the web page for the specific computer and set the location there. Then update the preferences on the client. If you are on windows, right click on the project name "SETI@Home" on the Projects tab. Select "Update".

One other thing, briefly select the option "Run Always" before doing the update, then after the update set it back to Run Based on Preferences. I think I noticed that it didn't do the update if you had it set to only do work when idle.

There are two separate sets of preferences. General preferences and project preferences. The screen saver is part of the project preferences. There would be 4 lines in the log for preferences.

Yes in my one year Beta Testi learned a lot of Boinc Cli and server, but i changed most of possibilities but it takes no affect.

You have been right all along I believe. See this thread:

http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah/forum_thread.php?id=424

I think preferences other than general do not work at all. I was only able to get the "work while idle" to function if I did not have a special set of preferences for the location of the computer (The Home location in my case).
