1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Boinc needs a run now option! (Message 40360) Posted 25 Sep 2011 by KraftR Post: The Boinc Manager needs the ability to schedule a task to run right now. Often I find a few tasks waiting to run at 99% completion because some high priority task jumps in and takes over all of the CPUs! The MilkyWay tasks are good at taking over by scheduling high priority tasks which can run for days! Thats just not fair in my opinion. Why are THEY so special? Geez! So I just want the ability to click on that poor SETI task waiting at 99% to complete to finish and be on its way... Thanks KraftR

3) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Aborted work units...? (Message 38391) Posted 13 Jun 2011 by KraftR Post: Well Helllloooo again Folks! I just got back after a four-day rebuild of my brand new laptop! Ha Ha! DO NOT turn-off/touch/whatever the Windows 7 network HOMEGROUP options! Just leave it the heck alone - ignore it! Use selective memory...etc... There is a Microsoft bug in it when you disable/leave the Homegroup...! Big surprise eh? Well it took my ADMIN rights away in the process! ARG! Try doing ANYTHING without ADMIN rights!! Had to do a TOTAL rebuild...! Now this account is a dumb user -> THAT won't happen again - NO WAY...! Of course I had to do some NET localgroup commands to get Boinc running... Well I am back! and thanks for all of the feedback! Installing Throttle. And yes, all is clean inside my laptop. And I am sitting in a cool room. I am not willing to void my warranty just yet so the heatsink will wait. The Asus laptops are known to run hot - but they sure do run very fast!! It has its own Turbo (overclocking) mechanism built in - that does it... So I will have to depend on Throttle to manage the heat levels for me... My Tasks are finally up and running again! Back to reinstalling stuff... Smilin' KraftR

I might even get to use that one year warranty this time! ha ha! Its a nice machine - just not ready to rip it open quite yet... It has dual passive and active fans inside whizzing away alright! I have noticed that no WUs are being assigned to the GPU yet? Thanks KraftR

6) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Aborted work units...? (Message 38306) Posted 9 Jun 2011 by KraftR Post: Ok fine.. Thanks! I had to bring my PC down quick and hard. . .fast! My PC reached 100C running all (8) CPUs wide open! I had to throttle Boinc down to 66% utilization... Even that keeps it hovering at about 90% heat level. Thanks KraftR

7) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Aborted work units...? (Message 38303) Posted 9 Jun 2011 by KraftR Post: Ok Folks, how do I remove aborted tasks from the task list? There should be a way to restart an aborted task if desired. Thanks KraftR

8) Message boards : News : BOINC Monitor (Message 38302) Posted 9 Jun 2011 by KraftR Post: Thanks folks...that seems like a simple lightweight change... I can see the file contention if the client file was updated.

9) Message boards : News : BOINC Monitor (Message 38292) Posted 9 Jun 2011 by KraftR Post: Hey guys... the "client_state.xml" is only being updated when a task completes. So the BAR data on your gadget will not change until a completion event occurs. I guess the "checkpoint" option within the BOINC manager relates to data only. Maybe the "client_state.xml" file can be refreshed according to this parameter? Then the gadgets BAR data would be updated correctly when it refreshes next... Thanks KraftR

11) Message boards : News : BOINC Monitor (Message 38224) Posted 7 Jun 2011 by KraftR Post: Version 7.0 has been released. Hey Igogo, I installed V7 a few hours ago... It has finished two WUs since then. And the graph only updates when it completes a WU. The display of the eight active tasks stays static. I even set both Boinc and your tool to update every 10 secs. I am running Windows 7...and ideas? Thanks KraftR
