Ok, it's a go. The <Domain> = COMPUTERNAME is what threw me for a loop. Any idea on why it has "<Domain>/<Username>" instead of automatically filling in the relevant info? Since it did the same when I tried installing previous versions, I'm under the assumption that it has something to do on my end.

Thanks Jord, I'll it a try. I noticed also that I forgot to type a backslash in my original post.

When I went to install the newest stable version (5.10.28) I encountered a roadblock with the service install option. In the Service Account Credentials screen, there is "Username: <Domain><Username>". On previous versions this Username: box was already filled. I tried entering what I thought used to appear there but am not making any headway. How do find out the relevant info? I tried to reinstall the previous versions 5.10.20 and 5.8.16 with the same results.

(I've tried the Skype volunteer route already w/o success.)

I think my bug bomb was exceedingly potent... seems I killed the ongoing sporadic conversations off too. :(

Best wishes everyone. :)



Maybe it was your unmatched socks....


Hey now! I said unmatched, not unwashed. :D



Yeah well. The polka dots and the stripes clashing were really hard on the eyes. But the plaid ones you have on now aren't much better.

:-p


Well, I thought they would match the kilt... don't even ask about the unmentionables...

:D

That was the first thing that I thought of.

Bionics Inc
"We can rebuild you better than human.
Enhanced strength;
Enhanced sensors;
Inbuilt weapons options;"

etc


Is that the same corporation that gave Steve Austin (Lee Majors) a retrofit? :D

Nevermind on this issue. I updated to the newest version (5.10.13) and no longer have a problem.

I think the new BOINC logo is pretty decent and does convey a more professional as Eric Myers stated. But that is my opinion and comes from a guy that sometimes finds himself wearing unmatched socks...

Whenever I click on one of the "Web sites" buttons on the left side of the BOINC Manager (5.10.7), I receive a Windows (XP) informational pop up with this message:
[i]BOINC Manager tried to display the web page
           http://einstein.phys.umn.edu/faq.php
but couldn't find a web browser. 
To fix this, set the environment variable
BROWSER to the path of your web browser,
then restart the BOINC Manager.[/i]


It has been quite some time since the last time I've utilized any of the website buttons in BOINC and there has been at least a couple of Firefox updates too (using FF 2.0.0.5 currently). So I'm not sure when this issue arose.

Can someone clue me into how to "set the environment variable BROWSER"?

Kath...I have successfully reoriented the direction in which i think of you...I hope all is going well for you in your new home.



Thanks Dan.

All is going well. Except for the poor piece of pizza that I just burned. This toaster oven thing is going to take a while to get used to :)

I know all about the perils of the toaster oven...Otherwise known as the smoke alarm activation device.


Well now there's one thing that that appears to be going for me. I don't see a smoke alarm anywhere in the apartment.

That is looking for the silver lining! Sort of...
