It appears to hang, the Task Mgr showing boinc_gui using 99% of the CPU power. Oddly enough, if I end the setiathome_4.05 process in the task list, the boinc_gui CPU usage drops to zero and I regain control of it. At least until it respawns the seti process to begin computation...which repeats the "hang" symptom. I've tried reinstalling over the install, resetting project, detaching from the project and completely uninstalling BOINC...all to no avail. I'm going to put the 4.09 client back on that machine until this gets ironed out. ID: 35829 ·

Only way to 'get-out' is to kill the process. Looks like its back to v4.09 for me! <img src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/seti2/stats.php?userID=1135"> ID: 35901 ·

It locks the CPU in a similar manner to my Win2K Pro install. I say similar because the boinc_gui process eats some CPU (15%) but the bulk was eaten up by the suddenly hyperactive virus scanner process McShield. When I disabled McAfee, the freed CPU cycles went to boinc_gui. The only commonality between the two problem machines is they are both IBM ThinkPads: an R31 (Win2K) and a T40 (XP Pro SP2). I've reverted both systems to BOINC 4.09 with no issue. ID: 36061 ·
