Yes I think so, try shutting down Boinc for a few minutes, check in the Task Manager to see if it is really shut down. Then after it has been down for about 5 minutes restart it. If you un-hide your pc it might help the diagnosis process.[/quote]

Thanks Mikey,I have now solved the problem. It transpires that there was a pair of "corrupt" (as in incomplete), files in the transfer box. Aborting them and then issueing a "Project Update" command soon downloaded new stuff for processing and it seems that my PC is Cooking by Gas (again).

One last question please. I have a second (slower) PC on the other end of my home network. How can I get it to work as well ?. The two are on a router thing and one machine can 'talk' to the other without too many problems. The second machine will be running Win ME (I have other tasks for it on occasions).


And where can I obtain an AVATAR ?

How long have they been down for?[/quote]
That may have been so when that was originally posted, but they're not down now & things are working normally at present.[/quote]

Latest from wherever they are is: 'Temporary failed download of file *****; file not found'

I don't think it's a communications problem, somehow. Has something got snarled up?

[quote]System Status shows that Kryten et al are down.

How long have they been down for?
I have a similar upload/download problem (either 'failed', 'Deferred communication' or (and the best) "(not requesting new work or reporting completed tasks)".
My sole project is SETI, the PC is an Athlon 3000, running WinXP pro and v5.8.14, through a local network. I've flushed the dns as instructed. No change!

And it's all silence round here!
