6) Questions and Answers : Windows : BOINC Hangs (Message 49558) Posted 27 Nov 2004 by philhoey Post: One more update - thanks for the tip about the firewall - checked that and boinc is listed as an exception. there seems to be some sort of incompatability problem with my motherboard bios. thought I had everything fixed and it started up again. ran a scan on the register but found no errors. uninstalled and installed AGAIN. if this does not stop it I am back to SETI Classic - again phil

7) Questions and Answers : Windows : BOINC Hangs (Message 49535) Posted 27 Nov 2004 by philhoey Post: Another update = started doing it again. It seems one of my oldest son's friends thinks he is a computer expert and without my knowledge went into the BIOS and mucked up the settings. Specifically, I have a CD reader and DVD burner. This 'expert' set the devices to AUTO rather than MODE 4 which is what is required with my particular units in order to function properly. Evidently this was the root cause of the entire computer freezing - not Norton Auto Protect. I discovered this by performing a step by step analysis, disabiling various programs and waiting to see if it happened again. Finally when NOTHING was running it was still doing it - there BIOS or a physical problem (cables not seated) was the cause. So far so good. phil

8) Questions and Answers : Windows : BOINC Hangs (Message 49493) Posted 27 Nov 2004 by philhoey Post: Just an update - I turned off Norton Auto-protect and so far seems to be working much better. Seems this all started after a recent Norton update.

9) Questions and Answers : Windows : BOINC Hangs (Message 49483) Posted 27 Nov 2004 by philhoey Post: Every 2 minutes or so BOINC will lock up the machine and hang for about 30 seconds. XP Pro with SP2. Messages say "SETI@home - 2004-11-26 22:10:26 - Result 09mr04aa.8844.8657.123566.218_1 exited with zero status but no 'finished' file: I have reset the project again and again. Any idea what is going on. Oh - I don't use a screen saver, I have unloaded the program - reloaded and still get the same results. phil
