1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Buffer overrun? (Message 7821) Posted 26 Jan 2007 by David Yeh Post: Hello, started running BOINC last week. On my slower AMD computer, runs great. On my 3.2 GHz Intel machine, though, programs started slowing down until I rebooted; today when I run BOINC, it says "Buffer overrun detected! Program: C/\\Program Files\\BOINC\\boinc.exe A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program's internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated." I click "OK", then BOINC Manager gives me a "BOINC Manager - Connection Failed" window that says "BOINC Manager is not able to connect to a BOINC client. Would you like to try to connect again?" and when I click "Yes" it tries, then fails again. When I click on "Attach to Project" it says "BOINC Manager is not currently connected to a BOINC clinet. Please use the 'File\\Select Computer...' menu option to connect up to a BOINC clinet. To connect up to your local computer please use 'localhost' as the host name" I use localhost, it automatically gives me a long password, I press <enter> and still nothing. I run 3 different antivirus/spy sweeper programs (Norton, Spy Sweeper, Spybot), got rid of a couple of cookies, re-installed BOINC, same story. I uninstall BOINC, re-install BOINC, same story. I'm obviously connected to the internet (how else am I able to post this question?). Any insight would be GREATLY appreciated.
