Posted 29 Mar 2006 by Stupid Post: I download the BOINC. I installed. It did not seem to do the processing that the instructions suggest should happen at the end of the install. I can activate "B manager". After clicking on file, I seem to need to enter values for two fields. I went back to SETI and added a new password. I entered the http://...etc. for SETI account and the new password. I get the error message (that is the one I get repeatedly) that BOINC cannot link to server. I read a lot of the instructions (even with the many options), but when things don't work I tend to stop. It is very difficult to find ones location once one leaves the instructions, or when one leaves the message boards, or when .... one does anything to move about. Memorizing several screens full of information is not to fruitful when one has no idea if things are working up to the point where one is given an error message, but has no idea how to get past that point. I'd love to give you all the details, but my brain is getting a little old. And I really do think STUPID is an appropriate name at my current level of lack of understanding of how to use this new system. With GUI screens, it is very difficult to save the critical information to paste accurately into a text message system. What are BBCode tags ???????? I'm probably supposed to click on that link to find out, but I fear if I do I'll never find my way back here to finish my attempt at securing some help. Maybe it's firewall trouble, but I never get to a barrier that suggests I can tell Norton or Microsoft Wondows of ???? that I want to grant permission for BOINC to get thru. For most programs I do get such a message when the firewall is blocking. I just don't know which of one zillion alternatives to try. Only with luck will I get back here to find answers, but IF I do I will appreciate any advise that is helpful. |

Posted 27 Mar 2006 by Stupid Post: Yes, I downloaded the software. After several tries I got the magic number to recover my setiathome account. But someone forgot to tell me how to make BOINC work. ...was this thing designed by the inventors of Billy's help files? Or is it only for ITs and gurus? |
