This is starting to become a bit of a rant.
Perhaps it's time to end it.

Moved from BOINC Manager.

Apparently poster needs BOINC changing so that CORD isn't hard coded as a requirement.

Peter Hucker is having a one week break.

This should also give others here time to remember about staying on tropic, and not wandering into a version of The Neverending Story.

Peter
There's a large box of holiday vouchers here, so if you'd like a nice long break from this board, just keep it up.

It's fairly obvious that Peter Hucker is just trolling, so lets bring this matter to an abrupt stop.

This topic is drifting badly and is about to run aground on some rocks, so it's been locked.

Charlie, your post has been hidden to conceal your email address.

This is the rest of Charlie's post:

*****************************************

I am [trying] to process work units for Milkeyway@Home and Universe@Home.

When I am not using the computer and the BOINC screen saver is up, it always says "Now running tasks Computer in use." And the BOINC manager, under the Status column on the Tasks page, always indicates "Suspended - computer in use" even though I do not activate the "Suspend" button. It downloads Tasks and I am able to download new tasks with no problem. However, BOINC does not process the tasks. On the Tasks page of the BOINC manager, under "Elapsed" some tasks usually indicate 00:00:01 to 00:00:45 respectively—even on newly downloaded tasks. Sometimes these Lapsed times revert back to 00:00:00 with no apparent rhyme or reason.

I have even tried with my plug and play laser mouse disconnected in case it may be interfering with BOINC to no avail. I am not using a joystick or such device.

There is a small yellow object in the bottom right corner of the BOINC tray icon. Not sure if this means anything.

I am using BOINC Version 7e.16.11 x64) on a 64-bit PC with Windows 10 Home Edition. All critical updates are installed and the machine seems to be clean of any malware. I have even tried to run the tasks with no other open programs or browser windows, except for automatic startup programs.

AFA "Windows: whether you installed BOINC as a Service."? Not sure what this means.

I would sure appreciate it if someone could help workout this problem. Please keep in mind that I am just an average user and not a techie.

First off, if you have a question, please don't post in a News thread.

As for what each project is doing, that will best be explained by looking at each project's web site.
12) Message boards : GPUs : PCI express risers to use multiple GPUs on one motherboard - not detecting card?

Enough with the language, whatever you want to call it.

Babbling incessantly about PCI express risers is one thing, but this thread appears to have become a personal blog.
Cool it.
