For some reason Boinc is displaying someone else's stats. Where do I find my ID number? Thank you, in advance.
2) Message boards : Questions and problems : Boincsimap not using cpu (Message 42111)
Posted 16 Jan 2012 by Michael Mastro
Post:
I have my computer set to use 100% of the cpu. For some reason, when Boincsimap is running, it starts out using 100%, and then eventually only uses less than 1%. If I restart my computer, Boincsimap then goes right back to using 100% of the cpu. What causes the drop? Is there anything I can do to prevent it?

Thank you, in advance.

Ageless - Problem Solved!!!

I think that the mistake I made before was after running Uninstall, I didn't delete all the remaining Boinc files. This time I did delete them and all is well.

Thanks again, to all for your help.

Michael

Claggy - NOTHING starts. I launch Boinc. I get the "Communicating..." message. It never goes away. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Boinc three times, and I still get only the "Communicating..." message. Help!

When I try to start boinc.exe all I get is a window with a blinking cursor, and after about 10 seconds it goes away.

Please try what? Turning off "Show all tasks"? I can't - Boinc never gets that far. As soon as it is launched I get the Communication message and I can't do anything else.

How do I get Boinc past the Communication message?

Claggy - No tasks start because as soon as I launch Boinc I get Communication message that never goes away. The message comes up before any tasks appear in the Boinc Manager.

I always keep "Show All Tasks." I had less than 100 tasks when the problem began.

Why does the problem persist after reinstallation? Or better yet, how do I get it to stop?

First of all - Thank you for your assistance.

When I run Boinc by hand - the same thing happens.

It shows in Task Manager.

I installed it standardly - Protected was not checked.

Thanks again.

Norton 4.0 wasn't updated until after the Boinc problem started.

I followed your instructions and uninstalled and reinstalled Boinc (after uninstalling Norton) - all files are (and were) in the proper place.

Boinc still won't finish communicating. What next?

This problem started before the Norton update...

I did the uninstall and reinstall before I received your post.

I use Norton Firewall, and all the Boinc exceptions are included, that's why I don't understand the problem.

The problem came out of nowhere - I simply restarted Boinc last week and the problem started.

More than once. I rebooted to try and eliminate the problem. When that didn't work, I reinstalled the Boinc software and rebooted. No solution. Help!

Yesterday Boinc started acting weird - every time I start it I get the "Communicating with Boinc clietn..." message and it won't go away. I tried letting it run for an hour and the message will not go away. So I downloaded and installed the latest software and the problem persists. Please advise.

That may be it. Usually I get a message that the servers are down. I've never received the "cannot resolve..." message.
