1) Questions and Answers : Wish list : I wish another font for these pages (same as for BOINC Beta) (Message 1772) Posted 25 Jun 2004 by krokr Post: If you use a browser like Firefox(mozilla) you can override the fonts on a page, and get the forum looking as you wish. FWIW, as someone who has only just installed Firefox I've found it quite impressive. Reg

2) Questions and Answers : Windows : Can't instal on Win2000 (OK on XP machines) (Message 1764) Posted 25 Jun 2004 by krokr Post: Just tried it again following a clean boot with the same results so the DrWatson log extract is attached at the bootom in case anyone can help. I tried copying my new SETI_BOINC directory from one of my XP machines to my Win2000 machine and running the executable, and this seemed to work. I have currently stopped it and gone back to running my old SETI command line prog until(if) I get confirmation that the copied BOINC should run OK.

3) Questions and Answers : Windows : Can't instal on Win2000 (OK on XP machines) (Message 1507) Posted 24 Jun 2004 by krokr Post: Thanks , I'd already looked in the event viewer, but hadn't thought of DrWatson (did say it was late!). There is an entry in the DrWatson log but it doesn't mean much to me, apart from confirming that setup.exe had some kind of access violation. If I post it is anyone able to interpret? Reg

4) Questions and Answers : Windows : Can't instal on Win2000 (OK on XP machines) (Message 1466) Posted 24 Jun 2004 by krokr Post: I have already successfully installed BOINC on two of my XP machines but when I ran the setup executable on my Win2000 machine I got the following error message:- Setup.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows.You will need to restart the program.An error log is being created. It late at night here but I can't find any log file and I get the same error everytime I run boinc_3.19_windows_intelx86.exe. I'm running as administrator and have disabled my antivirus and firewalls just in case but get the same message each time - any suggestions, apart from getting a good night's sleep!
