Post: Yeah, me here as well with a very similar named workunit. SETI rarely have these problems, so my personal computer here is only running SETI for now, hope you straighten it out quickly guys, and thanks! gady b Jupiter Crash SETI team |

Post: OOPS! Apologies! My Fault after all! (but not completely) I was a bit worried about cpu overheating, though i use a desktop with a good fan and i've heard people say there's no problem to overwork the cpu for weeks on end. but still i was worried, so i downloaded threadmaster. the configuration seemed tricky and i didn't succeed at running it, so since a lot of people seemed not to worry about cpu warming up, i decided to skip it. everything was doing fine boinc ~95% cpu. then i forgot about it... what happenned is that i probably rebooted my computer for some reason or another, and somehow it started working, out of the blue. i was so desperate when i couldn't figure out what wrong, i decided to select a few system processes and end them and since 'thread' was a term i knew, and it seemed to be at least a bit relevant, i decided to kill it. boinc quickly boinced up again to full use of my dear cpu. http://bednorz.uni2.net/anyland/threadmaster/threadmaster.htm has instructions on how to permanently delete threadmaster, which all in all seems like a precious little tool for those in need. so, sorry... i was overwhelmed by the quick help, it warmed my heart, thanx a lot! you are welcome to my site, http://thaye.net once again, thanx, and back to boincing ;) gady |

Post: Once again, thanx, and sorry. I tried reconnecting without the firewall checkbox, but it's still the same. when i try what you say, check the firewall in the network conenction, i get a window with 'settings', not 'configurations', and there's no 'exceptions', only 'serviecs', 'security logging', and ICMP, and none of the options under these menus seem to have any relevant thing. because i tried reconnecting without the firewall, and still i have this problem, i'm at a loss. hey, |

Post: hey, first of all, thank you very much for the immediate help! unfortunately, i don't have a 'windows firewall' on my control panel , nor can i run wscui.cpl from the start->run prompt (which is what i read in the windows help should get me to the firewall). Maybe i should add that i have norton internet security, but it's been on for the last few weeks and boinc was full power, and anyway i disabled it and it doesn't help. could the problem lie elsewhere? sorry for the hassle, just a well-meaning newbie... |

Post: That might be the case, because when i rebooted there was a install windows message or something, which i closed down. but how do i check the firewall? how do i restore the permissions for boinc? and is what you say posssible when boinc does work (10-20%). i'm very computer literate, i used to work as a programmer, but i don't know much about these topics. thank you very much! Did your system do a windows update? |

Post: hey! i started running boinc a bit more than a week ago and progressed fine, the cpu was running at 90%+ most of the time on boinc and i ran many different projects and my credit progressed. a few hours ago, system idle process started using up most of my cpu (70-80%), and boinc has just a little bit left. i tried updating the project preferences (which i didn't change anyway), tried rebooting, tried killing the system idle process (windows xp won't let me), nothing works. what's going on? i tried looking for an answer, couldn't find an adequate one. help would be dearly appreciated, i've become a boinc addict. thanx, gady b http://thaye.net |
