Questions and problems :
BOINC remains suspended even when computer is not in use
(Message 60317)
Posted 15 Feb 2015 by Ian Cook Post: [Correction to above post Bingo!!! Changed all the web preference to blank instead of "0" and it has fixed the problem. This really odd though, since I have two computers running Boinc (one at home and one at my business premises) and the "0" was not causing this problem at home, so I was ignoring it. But thank you BobCat13. |

Questions and problems :
Boinc does not appear detect all available disk space
(Message 36154)
Posted 19 Dec 2010 by Ian Cook Post: Does anyone know why Boinc does not detect all of the HDD space available on my computers. On this machine , I have two physical 80GB HDD's but Boinc apparently cannot see the second physical HDD. I reports the space available as only 27.7GB whereas in fact there is over 100GB of space available. This is particularly annoying at work where I have computers installed with small C: drives (<50GB) but the Data drives (D:) are, in some cases over 175GB |

Questions and problems :
Boinc doesn't respond to mouse movement
(Message 36078)
Posted 16 Dec 2010 by Ian Cook Post: I have solved most of these problems. Firstly, I hadn't realised that when I replace a computer, the old computer remains on the list. Some of the computers were listed three times, and one was listed that doesn't even exist anymore?? This would explain why there appeared to be up to 15 computers on the list, many of which had not returned tasks. So, I have merged the ones that I knew were the same, and deleted the non-existent one. As I said earlier, eight of these computer are at my business but the ninth computer; the one I have been having trouble with, is at home. I have fixed this one by re-installing Boinc with the latest version. No problems since then. Question? I currently have all nine computers attached to the same three projects, (SETI, Rosetta and Einstein) split 33-33-33 between them. Would it be better to rearrange this so that single projects were attached to each computer, i.e. 1+2+3 to SETI, 4+5+6 to Rosetta and 7+8+9 to Einstein. Is it better from the number crunching" point of view, or doesn't it matter? |

Posted 13 Dec 2010 by Ian Cook Post: No, that does not appear to be me. Must be another Ian Cook When I click on Einstein in the projects list, then the "Your Computers" button, it lists these computers. It says there are 10, but I know there are only 9 (the extra one appears as a Windows 2000 OS; it lists four but I KNOW I only have three running W2K) Eight of the nine computers run on a network and access the internet via a gateway. They should all have the same IP number. The ninth one (the one I am having trouble with) is this one and it is on its own connection with a different ISP.

Boinc doesn't respond to mouse movement
(Message 36052)
Posted 12 Dec 2010 by Ian Cook Post: I am attached to; Rosetta Einstein SETI They are split 33% each way All of the other eight computers respond with the "bubble" dialog (and stop computing) the instant the mouse is moved (as I would expect) RAM is 2GB on this machine NOTE: Should I be able to locate boinctray.exe somewhere on my computer? I have done a search and cannot find it. It is listed in the msconfig startup list, but does not appear to be running. I will check this out in some of the other computers when I get to work. In the meantime, I have "snoozed" boinc on this computer so that I can get some of my own work done :) |

Posted 12 Dec 2010 by Ian Cook Post: Richard Here is exactly what it happening 1. I switch on computer and boinc loads automatically. I start doing whatever it was I turned the computer on for. Then I go away to do something else, leaving the computer idle. 2. When I come back, the HDD light is on continuously, and the computer will not respond to movement of the mouse or keyboard. Eventually, it does respond but is very slow in doing so. The screen "refreshes" very very slowly, and eventually (sometimes as long as 5 minutes after I have been trying to get it to respond) the HDD light goes out, and the computer acts normally. 3. As long as I keep using the computer, I have no problems, but if I stop for more than a few minutes, the HDD light comes on, and the whole problem begins again I have established that it is Boinc causing this, by shutting it down in the task manager. This problem only happens when Boinc is running. boinc.exe, boincmgr.exe and boinctray.exe are all running in the task list. EDIT: Actually, I have just checked again. boinctray.exe is NOT in the tasklist, but it IS checked in the startup list in msconfig. Could that be the problem. From what you say, boinctray monitors the mouse & keyboard Gundulf Activity is set to "Run based on preferences" & "Network activity is based on preferences Preferences are set as follows Processor usage: While computer is on batteries is unchecked While computer is in use is unchecked Only after computer has been idle for 5 minutes All other settings are default. |

Posted 12 Dec 2010 by Ian Cook Post: I have nine computers running various Boinc projects. Six on win XP-Pro, three on Win2KPro. Eight of them run fine with no problems, but the ninth one has a problem with Boinc. It does not stop computing immediately I move the mouse. All of the others display a little yellow pop-up dialog next to the Boinc tray icon, stating that computation has been suspended the moment a key is touched, the mouse is moved or, on some of the computers, when the touchscreen is touched. This one (one of the Win XP-Pro computers) keeps running. There is no popup window, and in fact there is no Boinc icon in the tray (even thought boinctray.exe is running in the Task Manager) Any clues? |
