I am using an old XP and did the d/l standard - 7.84mb = it still is
only at 92% not sure what I am doing wrong - I am sure it should
not have taken this long.
Thanks for any help!!!!

You'll have to explain a bit more and better, what you are trying to do. Download BOINC? Install BOINC? They are two different things.

If download, what kind of internet connection do you have and what is its speed?
Where are you downloading from?

If you're installing BOINC, and progress is only at 92%, check in Windows task manager what is taking up the CPU(s). Something else must be interfering.

Hi - I did the d/l and saved to desktop - started the install which is taking so
long - as of today it is at 98.862% - I will check on why the CPU is running so slow - as of right now cpu usage is running at between 19% and 55% -only 2 apps are running = Boinc and Firefox!!!

Thanks for the reply.

The BOINC installer doesn't use percentages to show installation progress, and it certainly doesn't take many hours to run. Before that time, Windows must have thrown a time-out already.

Seeing how you say that progress is 98.862% and that you see a Boinc.exe process in Windows task manager, I can deduce that this means that your BOINC is installed and that you added a project, and that that project is working away at a task. And that task is presently at 98.862% of completion.

Do Start->(All) Programs->BOINC->BOINC Manager, that should at least put a BOINC Manager icon in your Windows taskbar. Click it, and BOINC Manager will open.

And then it will either show as

or as

Hi - That screen shot is what mine looks like - it did finish one project and now
started another - was trying to locate where I can find out how to use this program or should I just let it run the way it is.
Thanks again!!!!
