on both of my pc's (1 vista high end) other a older XP Pro... Both updated to 6.2x both getting 1 of 20 in success and all others compute error/client error.

Not sure whats going on... but Im assuming 6.2.14 is the problem and may try to go back to 5.

Reality is while the old pc is expected to get very few wu (old enough) the new one was doing huge amts till this week.

this week alone the quad4 (brand new) has done fewer wu's than even 1 hour of the previous weeks.

Will try re-attching past projects (non-seti) that I had not yet re-attached to see if that helps.

I know its not the pc's so i figure its my setting or a boinc side problem.

well for me... if I cant figure why it suddenly no longer works.
Im not going to have Boinc doing only 1-4 results a day when I previously was doing that much every few minutes previous to the current week, I may leave Boinc altogeterh after being with Seti/Boinc (as a consumer participant) after 9+ years.

Too bad its been fun, but it isnt even funny anymore.
Will instead try to find other projects for now and barring that going ahead and uninstalling boinc for good;.

I am assuming I did something in error to cause this so I wil let it sit for a few weeks to see if so.. otherwise this is a 'goodbye'.

I will need to dedicate the machine to other projects (non-boinc) that are more productive to me.

In my case that is 'adding to' the development (hobbiest) of Hercules Mainframe stuff.. since i am a former Mainframer.

I had thought that buying a new quad 4 with 6gig of ram would be a killer deal but aftr 2-3 weeks it seems to have died.

One of the first things you might want to do is upgrade to 6.2.16 as it fixes a couple of things related to Vista.

Otherwise if you have 5.10.45 it has proven fairly stable. If you do not still have it, you my might look here Download BOINC client software

going to 6.2.16 seemed to eliminate at least the 'compute error's and for now all seems ok.

Still have other issues, but from what I have read so far, its on the seti side and not mine... so I am ok.

I had gone back to 5.10x but problem didnt go away till I did a full uninstall and reinstall.. yet again but with 6.2.16 this timne.

Note, I was having the same problem on a xppro pc as I was on vista.
