I got a new Dell today and installed version 6.6.36 for Windows Vista 64-bit.

The system is a Dell Inspirion 545 with an Intel Q9400 @ 2.66ghz and 8 GB of ram. It is running Windows Vista Home Premium SP1.

When I allow processing, I get the following errors for Seti@Home:

I get the same "DLL Initialization Error" when running Einstein@Home.

Should I downgrade my BOINC to the 32-bit version of BOINC...???

Thanks

David

you can try this: may or may not work:try detaching from those projects and reattaching.

"Task exited with a DLL initialization error" is the same as "Result exited with zero status but no 'finished' file", just from a different BOINC version.

See the BOINC FAQ service.

What's your setting for "Use at most XX% CPU time" in your preferences?

I have my processor setting at 100%. I also tried using Bonicstats Account Manager to detach and reattach to both Seti@Home and Einstein@Home.

Everything is still the same. I will try another reboot and see if that fixes it. If it does not, then I will try the 32-bit version.

Could this be a windows security issue..?? I am going to turn off the Account Controls item, reboot and see if that does anything.

Ok, I reinstalled/repaired the installation of the 64-bit verison. Let it run under the Boinc_Master account and it is now working just fine.

Thanks for the help..!!
