I just started a new machine on SETI@home (RIVE). All seems to be working fine. I installed BoincStats, because I like the interface better than BOINC's own. BUT: I cannot get it to find my SETI or all its WUs, and data.

I don't recall having this problem before on my other machines...what am I missing (besides a brain)? How do I tell it to manage SETI on RIVE?

Thanks!

Some further info:

The computers tab lists my machine, but the BOINC and Platfom columns are blank.
Also, SETI does not show up in the Projects tab.

Looks like it just doesn't realize SETI is running at all(???).

I found the problem - I had gotten the BOINC installer from elsewhere than SETI - though it was the correct version (7.6.33), it was 32bit, rather than 64bit, and was incompatible with BoincTasks 1.69.

When I installed it, BT found all the Tasks, etc. that it couldn't find before.

So all seems cool, for now!

Well that all makes more sense now. I was wondering what BOINCstats 1.69 was.
I still prefer BOINCview to watch over my systems. Plus it doesn't switch to the task view at random like BOINC tasks does.
