1) Questions and Answers : Windows : Default browser problem (Message 234485)
Posted 20 Jan 2006 by Profile AsparaGus
Post:
Call me crazy, but I like Crazy Browser which uses the IE engine and most other programs will find it as my default browser.

Since BOINC the Manager interface will open in IE or Firefox, but not IE and worse still IE can not Open a Link in a New Window ... in otherwords it is forced to allow only one instance. I'm runing the latest 5.2.13 BOINC on Windows XP home SP2 fully patched.

Any suggestions?

I'm sorry I still don't like the Seti@home since it went to BOINC (though I met some nice friendly folks over at Einstein@home whose servers appear to be working better than seti's

The numbers prove BOINC works. There are hundreds of thousands of people with an average of almost 2 computer per running BOINC SETI on a regular basis. This number keeps growing.

I have been on BOINC about 1.5 years and have had very little problem with the software itself.


I had problems when it came out and I switched back to Classic, left the project for a month and returned 5 days ago and though I have completed some work, it appears I've spent almost as much time trying to upload or download as I have crunching.

I know I've spent a lot more troubleshooting time than I did with Classic, so I question the BOINC works premise.

PS I hate these boards and the website is from hunger.
4) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Failed with a return value of 500 (Message 232725)

Sorry, I do not have a direct answer to your question - about error 500.
(just sharing...)
(I also had an error: Missing acct key - but I tried to open an existing accout - with email and password - account key was not asked for...)



My account is setup, but the 500 error is at Berkley though it appears in other places things are functional -- in fact it isn't.
5) Questions and Answers : Web site : Website slow, upload/download issues (Jan 15th) (Message 232723)

The problems wasn't caused by that thread but by a congestion in the database. Theoretically the software should be able to handle threads of any lenght (your browser is the limit...) but I think that the mentioned thread is pure waste of storage resources...

Say wha?

Sorry, these message boards stink and the website stinks and BOINC stinks. As far as I can tell, the system (at Berkeley is working) and my computer is working with a DSL always on connection which is working and I'm spending hours with no new downloaded work though apparently it assigned a unit.
