Questions and problems :
Older version cannot be removed
(Message 42631)
Posted 20 Feb 2012 by Juan Post: I cannot install Boinc updates. The installer keeps looking for an older MSI and says "older version cannot be removed". I did a registry cleanup, nothing. Deleted every single file in the boinc folder. Nothing. Win 7 64 bit, all updates applied. Help! |

Projects excluding GPU's
(Message 36714)
Posted 3 Feb 2011 by Juan Post: I'm seeing disturbing pattern of projects that are now excluding computers with NVidia GPU's from GPU-enabled work unless the GPU has more than 256mb of memory. Seti@Home, Milkyway and Einstein are three examples. First, I think it's pathetic that a programmer can't make applications like these work with 256 MEGAbytes of memory. Second, I have a Dell Precision M6300 and I can't upgrade my video. Is there a way to determine which projects will not allow me to participate with my GPU so that I can exclude them entirely from my computer time? |

BOINC Manager :
5.10.30 does not respect default browser
(Message 15116)
Posted 25 Jan 2008 by Juan Post: Any chance this is Vista giving you the headache? Unfortunately, the post doesn't explain how to get to that dialog in the first place. My Set Program Defaults control panel does not show a Custom option. I am using Windows Vista Ultimate. Also, everyone else but Live Messenger and BOINC respects my default browser setting. ?? |

Posted 25 Jan 2008 by Juan Post: BOINC follows what Windows says is the default browser. You may have set in Firefox to check that it is the default browser, but did you also tell Windows? This is not the problem. Every other application on the computer except Windows Live Messenger and BOINC respects the settings as I configured them for the default browser. Dave Anderson told me this is a bug in WXWIDGETS. Someone needs to correct this. |

5.10.30 does not respect default browser
(Message 15095)
Posted 24 Jan 2008 by Juan Post: I just noticed 5.10.30 does not respect the user's default browser selection. I have mine set to Firefox but when I select anything that requires opening a browser page, BOINC forcibly opens Internet Explorer. This is very, very bad form, and particularly for a product like BOINC. What is the workaround or fix for this? |
