Message 115111
Posted 31 Dec 2024 by Paul Luman
BOINC is using about 25GB of disc space. It has available 100s more. How do I expand it, or can I?

What is the limiting factor, processor, video card, memory, disc ?

I also have the pop up saying another version of BOINC is already running.
How do I stop this?


BOINC needs to issue an update to correct this! It's their mistake!

ClimatePrediction.net and GPUGRID have sent no work units for months, will delete BOINC soon.

Can not get a response from them by either email or forum(s).

My projects always have the remaining times increasing, not decreasing?

They are crowding out my other projects.

I need an answer or I'm deleting them from my Tasks.

I'm still running 7.2.47, don't remember being notified that an update was available.

Can I download from the BOINC main page website and not lose my projects?

And, what's the difference between

boinc_7.8.2_windows_intelx86.exe
and
boinc_7.8.2_windows_x86_64.exe

I'll be wiping my disc and installing a new BIOS; will have to re-install all of my previous programs. How do I re-install Boinc and its associated tasks, Seti, Cosmology, etc., without losing my progress/settings?

I'm running seti and einstein projects. Added climateprediction.net today. Tried to add Cosmology, but it then said an account with that email address already exists and uses a different password ... ?

I have multiple Seti tasks running again. I thought they fixed the bug?

Finally got around to looking up the info.

To restate, graphics and screensaver suddenly stopped working with no changes; might have been when I updated the software recently.

Vostro 230 Windows 7 32 bit

Intel(R) Core(TM)2Duo CPU E7500@2.93GHz

Graphics: G41 Express Chipset

Video card going bad ?

Recently my Boinc screensaver says screensaver loading, but nothing happens. It then times out. I have changed any settings. I have the Boinc to come on after two minutes, run for two minutes, and project screesavers run for ten minutes. All I have is the Boinc trying to load the screensaver notice.
