6) Questions and Answers : Windows : Missing Workunits (Message 46371) Posted 14 Nov 2004 by Brian Hillard Post: The number of units I have done is reading 20. I done a damn-sight more than that. What's happened now. My credit seems to be OK. Even though 18 out of the 20 listed are pending, which is also weird. My "View results" page was two pages long, it is now only 1. This is starting to freak me out. Where are the rest of my results gone?

7) Message boards : Number crunching : Watching the SETI Odometer Turn (Message 45748) Posted 12 Nov 2004 by Brian Hillard Post: I have only recently switched from SETI Classic to BOINC. I have been stuck on 997.65 for the last couple of days. What does it take to get my 1st 1000!! I think i'll have to track down everyone that is still crunching the workunits I have completed, and give them a friendly message in their ear! Long-live SETI.

I have been part of SETI around about the same time, and I can't think of a better way to spend my CPU cycles. They are out there somewhere. As for Peace & Happiness, that would be nice. Brian.

9) Questions and Answers : Windows : BOINC in taskbar (Message 45206) Posted 10 Nov 2004 by Brian Hillard Post: Hi I didn't notice this with the earlier version, but as BOINC is running in the systray as normal, after a period of time, it appears on the taskbar even though it wasn't open at the time. Clicking the taskbar icon will not restore the window. And I have to bring it up from the systray, and close it again, It then goes from the taskbar, only to re-appeaar a hour-or-so later. I will check to see if any of my other apps do the same thing. Actually I do think this is a Windows thing(again). Brian

11) Message boards : Number crunching : Average (Message 44785) Posted 9 Nov 2004 by Brian Hillard Post: Hi Is it possible to get an average credit of 623.86? Flipping heck. It isn't mine unfortunately.

A couple of cheap NICS, if you haven't got them already, and a length of cable is the best way.

13) Questions and Answers : Windows : S@h 4.07 and WinXP SP2 Pro(blem) (Message 44283) Posted 8 Nov 2004 by Brian Hillard Post: Hi. This aint gonna help in the slightest. I am running an AMD Athlon on Windows XP Pro, with the "answer to all our problems" Service Pack 2. That was a joke btw: So far there hasn't been any problems I can see with the new update, apart from missing stats on the screensaver, but that has been reported everywhere. Forgive a stupid question, but have you ran a benchmarking util, like 3D Mark, without BOINC running, for a while to see if your PC stops responding during the test process? Other than that, I have no answer to this at the moment. Keep a look out for other reports of this just in case. Sorry for such a totally useless answer.

14) Questions and Answers : Windows : Missing Stats (Message 43910) Posted 7 Nov 2004 by Brian Hillard Post: Thanks Thierry. I had most of the forums filtered in this way. Why this one wasn't is still open to debate. It will be know though. Thanks.

15) Questions and Answers : Windows : Missing Stats (Message 43909) Posted 7 Nov 2004 by Brian Hillard Post: Hi I wasn't aware of the problems with this version. I am know though, thanks. I will carry on and wait for the problem to be fixed. As for my stats. I haven't a clue yet, why it bought up four flipping pictures. I have turned it off, until I do! Thanks again.

16) Questions and Answers : Windows : Missing Stats (Message 43567) Posted 6 Nov 2004 by Brian Hillard Post: Hi For reasons unbeknown to me, the BOINC screensaver for SETI has decided to show no team or credit info. The main client is showing it OK, so I am not that concerned. It is weird though.

(Message 42203) Posted 2 Nov 2004 by Brian Hillard Post: > The screensaver is updated each time the BOINC client contacts the server. > This happens when a result is submitted or you do a manual update. > Thanks. I don't normally do a manual update. It's normally left to it's own devices to upload and downloaded on it's own throughout the day, and so hadn't noticed this before. Thanks again.

19) Questions and Answers : Windows : Differing credit. (Message 42195) Posted 2 Nov 2004 by Brian Hillard Post: Hi I have noticed on occasions that the BOINC Projects page shows different credit readings from the screensaver. For instance, BOINC reads 511.49, and the screensaver shows 396.24. Where does the graphical display/screensaver get its credit readings from, considering it shows 511.49 online? The stats below are a day out of date of course. These stats were updated in the morning as per usual, and I was awarded credits a few hours later. I would have thought though, that the SETI BOINC screensaver would mirror what the BOINC client, is showing. At least the percentage done is correct though! I do love BOINC. Long live SETI@home.
