1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Not able to open my old Account - had to create a new one... (Message 6775)

Hi,

Admittedly it's been a while since I've visited the BOINC Forums and Message Board, but my BOINC has been active daily accumulating Daily Average Credits.

Here I am on my Team

I tried logging in with my former email address and password and also Accound Key from a confirmation letter of 12/26/2005 but I was rejected each time I tried.

With the new Account and when I click on my Screenname it shows that I am just starting with No Credits or Work History.

Can I update my New Account or revert back to my old account so that it shows the Credits and Activity?


I think you may be confusing Seti with the Boinc manager. They are independent projects each with its own servers and website. Seti is but one of many projects using the Boinc manager. You are now on the Boinc site.

This link is Seti home page. Try to log in there.


Ok, was able to log in at the Seti Site...but, don't I still have to use this Message Board for BOINC Manager queries?
hmm...I now see the SETI@home community link, guess that's where I should be.

Thank you!

2) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Upgraded to v5.4.11 - Now have two System Tray Icons and more.. (Message 6774)

The reason for two Icons would be that you are starting Boinc twice. First, which install option (Single-user, Shared or as a Service) did you use and was it the same as your original install. Did you originally install as administrator or as a logged in user. Although you can only have one instance of the Boinc software running, you can have many instances of the manager open at the same time.

Check your Startup folder to see if you have two Boinc shortcut.

Thank you for your reply.

When I go to C:\\Documents and Settings\\Telstar\\Start Menu\\Programs

it shows two different BOINC's:
...this one in it's own Folder:
1)

...and this one in the Startup Folder:
2)

I didn't want to delete anything until you suggest which one.

which install option (Single-user, Shared or as a Service) did you use

I would have installed as Single-user since I am the only person and the Administrator of this computer.
I'm not 100% certain but, am pretty sure I would have installed as Administrator.

Thanks,

Telstar

(these Forums should have a message/reply "Preview")

Hello,

Windows XP Home SP2
Firefox 1.5.0.8
IE7


I just upgraded BOINC from v5.2.13 to v5.4.11 and have a couple of questions:

1) After upgrading and Rebooting, I see that I now have two(2) BOINC Manager Icons in the System Tray...
How do I fix it so I have just one Icon?

2) Upon a Start or Reboot, the BOINC Manager starts maximized and stays like that until I manually minimize it to the System Tray...
How can I get BOINC Manager to start minimized to the System Tray?

Thank you!

Telstar
