The answer is probably spread out in the forum/message boards..



Yes, you are probably right. But like most forums its difficult to find that needle in the hay stack :o

Cheers!

BTW, I remembered the file that must be deleted. Did you delete the app_info file?

Hi everyone! I had been running a Crunch3r version of Bionic and the KWSN version of SETI on my Vista machine. Well with new multi beam stuff coming out and kwsn not working on Vista I want to switch to the Stock apps for now.
Not really knowing what I was doing... I installed BIONIC 5.10.13... deleted anything KWSN. Didn't seem to be working so manually downloaded sah5.27 (a la amon68), edited "client_state.xml" and now:

Will this sort it self out? Did I mess it up really bad? What should I do? TIA!

There is a file that describes the override files - this file must be deleted, and it is actually the only file that must be deleted. Unfortunately, I am having a hard time remembering the name of the file.

-- snip, snip --
What should I do? TIA!


Greetings,

The answer is probably spread out in the forum/message boards..
New disk upgreades -- in the technical news forum:
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_forum.php?id=21

And, a lot of other users are having the same problem see the
"Number Crunching" forum
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_forum.php?id=10

So, it is probably not your set up.

Have a great day and better weekend,
Jay
