Since this has nothing to do with the thread you posted in, please repost in a thread of your own, using the New thread button at the Q&P forum, what your exact problem is. With which BOINC version, which project(s) you run and a link to any of the work that got 'broken'.

Also see this thread as to what we'd like for information.

As for Dr. Anderson's email address, it's one link away from the front page. However, he'll be ignoring your emails if you make them in the way you made your post, with absolutely no information whatsoever. Dr. Anderson dislikes having to pull information that you have readily available out of you even more than we do. So just don't email him. If need be, if there's a real problem, I'll email him.

But until that time, go make your own thread, add all the info into it that you can muster up and I'll take a look at it.

Message 45530 - Posted: 1 Sep 2012, 16:56:11 UTC - in response to Message 45432.  

Hello.

Quite annoying to get all the time that I should update my manager to the latest one. I have tried it for a two times without any success; it does many times breaks the calculating processes (at the very same time as installing). So it does not work at all in the w7 sp1 in my tests and verified results. (It will fall down!)

BTW: It gives over too little time to even start many packets nor to complete those in given time. Just yesterday I had 1.9.2012 a lot, but then next start of manager they were ripped off and next there were hanging 9.9.2012 packets instead, that's ok maybe my laptop can now do those in given
time!

But back to business again; can you in any case repair the newest manager and take that annoying info what comes every time when u ar forced to open it again,also please be patient to find the reason why it brakes those packets (almost finished usually), only route I can give is the reinstall of newest version over or by removing the old version and if I now remember correctly it asks finally point to leave or not old data of force leaving it there that you don't have to count those not that same data again and again. If there is available a good working manager I am more than happy get that onto my hand's. Where can or can it be dl:ed from somewhere? (this is the last ver what works:'boinc_6.12.34_windows_x86_64' after that no success anymore!!

And again, please read When requesting help on these forums....

More specifically:
General
-- In cases where you don't know how to find any information about your system, exit BOINC completely and restart it. Next copy and post the first 20 to 30 lines from the start-up messages. That'll give us enough information about your system, plus it might show a peek into your problem.
--- If BOINC Manager cannot make contact with the client, tell us that. In this case you cannot use the above method of picking up the lines, but they will always be stored in the stdoutdae.txt file in your BOINC Data directory, whose default paths can be found at this BOINC FAQ.

- When having problems with tasks (not) switching, please make sure to post which projects you're attached to and which are all allowed to fetch work and which have work. Check that you didn't set your preferences on the project web site to omit using your CPU or GPU. Check that you didn't suspend the project, the tasks or the use of the piece of hardware.

- If you have preferences problems, please post the contents of your global_prefs.xml file and if it exists the contents of the global_prefs.override.xml file. These files can be found in your BOINC Data directory.

Your system isn't registered at the BOINC project, so we cannot look it up and check what it's doing. It's only registered at the projects you added. We can only check what is wrong with it when you give us a link to its hostID number, as long as the system isn't hidden.

Your system doesn't just consist of just a videocard and an Operating System; it'll contain a motherboard, CPU, memory, network card, audio card, lots of fans, a power supply unit, drivers for all the hardware, lots of other programs and probably a lot of dust. Please be as detailed in describing your system as you possibly can. But do not copy everything that certain tools will give you as 'details', as that's just too much.

Minimum we request is CPU brand/model/speed, GPU brand/model/speed, amount of RAM, version of DirectX, drivers version for the videocard, your Operating System (and please state if it's 32bit or 64 bit).

Please do know that we cannot look over your shoulder to see what you see or do. You will have to give as much information as you possibly can. You are the one with the problem, so you will have to be as informative as possible to give us a clue as to what you are on about.


Windows
- In all cases: Please tell us which BOINC version you are using. You can find this information in BOINC Manager->Advanced view->Help->About BOINC Manager.

- When BOINC Manager refuses to make contact with the client, make sure that you did allow both Boinc.exe and Boincmgr.exe through your firewall. Check that your firewall didn't receive an update and reset connections. If it worked before and now it doesn't, it's something on your system that changed. You just have to work back and figure out what. For other hints on this specific problem, see this FAQ.
