I recently joined Allprojectstats.com. I decided to go back to BOINCSynergy. For each project I successfuly made the change back to my origional team. However, whenever I bring up, "BOINC details for myaccountname", it still shows up as belonging to Allprojectstats.com. How can I switch back to BOINC Synergy?
22) Message boards : Questions and problems : Version BOINC 6.50 (Pre-Release) May Crash Your Computer!!!!! (Message 22150) Posted 29 Dec 2008 by John Phelan-Cummings Post: The ONLY difference is the 6.5O version. Again, as I said, "So far, I have no trouble with BOINC 6.4.5; no crashes since I rolled back to BOINC 6.4.5 from 6.50." , and NO indications of a hardware problem. I don't understand your reminding me of the of 6.5.0 being a development version, and that everyone was warned about that by the (pre-released word, . . . etc. What does that have to do with it? Should I not have stated a warning about this version and let so many potential computers just crash? jphelan

(Message 22105) Posted 27 Dec 2008 by John Phelan-Cummings Post: I mean, "complete shutdown". The compter would simply shut down without going through a, "normal" shutdown or logoff procedure. I would then have to re-power up to be able to use the computer again. jphelan

25) Message boards : Questions and problems : Version BOINC 6.50 (Pre-Release) May Crash Your Computer!!!!! (Message 22073) Posted 25 Dec 2008 by John Phelan-Cummings Post: I use the 64 bit EVGA 780i series motherboard with 2 gigs of internal memory. I also use the 64 bit version of Vista Ultimate with the latest SP1 and all the latest updates. The lasted version of NVIDIA 630 does not enable CUDA therefore I do not participate in projects that require it. The BOINC Version 6.50 (Pre-Release) May Crash Your Computer. My computer used to crash randomly (complete shutdown). To keep it short, after a number of attempts to isolate the causes, rolling BOINC back to version 6.45 so far is the only method that seems to work (preventing crashes. jphelan
26) Message boards : Questions and problems : Confused about how Units on Client are scheduled (Message 21161) Posted 7 Nov 2008 by John Phelan-Cummings Post: Good question! In fact, I oftem have to abort some work units as I approach their deadlines because of this. A part of the answer might be in the number of days you ask to receive work units for to work on. I've cut this down to 4 days from 7. I have no idea if this will allow me the additional time that I need to get all of them done, but I'll see. John
27) Message boards : BOINC client : Version 6.2.14 Will Not Install Properly (Message 19039) Posted 1 Aug 2008 by John Phelan-Cummings Post: Hi, This error 1069 was discussed here: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=2940&nowrap=true#18895 Hope it helps IF the following discussion is what you mean: Then you didn't install it as a service. Can be tested by exiting BOINC Manager, if no boinc.exe continues to show in your Task Manager then you didn't install it as a service. Apropos of nothing, BOINC 6 can be installed as not a service as well. Just go to the Advanced option in the installer and untick the option to install in protected mode. This installs BOINC as is, not a service and needs BOINC manager to start and run BOINC at all times. In the mean time I have reported your problem to the developers already. I hope you're the only one with this problem. As for what error 1069 is, it means that the password appointed to the service does not match the password 'showing' in the services applet. Usually this happens when you have a service running on a local account system, changed the password for your Windows account, but neglected to adjust it for the service. This is not the case with BOINC. BOINC 6 has its own password (a randomly generated 32 character key) which the installer puts in place, both for the BOINC accounts and the service. Talking about BOINC accounts, if you go to Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Computer Management->Local users and groups, do you have a boinc_master and boinc_project account in the Users group and a boinc_admins, boinc_projects and boinc_users group in your Groups? then, 1. I was NOT given an install as a servic as an option. 2. It is either clear where or what is being communicated when "the discussion" talks about, going to the, "Advanced option in the installer and untick the option to install in protected mode." or, I simply don't have it; because I can' find it. Once again (as I have many times now) i will go back to the BOINC version 5.10.45 until all this can be figured out.

30) Message boards : BOINC client : New Vesion 6.3.6 Still Won't Instill (Message 18894) Posted 28 Jul 2008 by John Phelan-Cummings Post: Any other thoughts? BOINC 6.2.14 will be released to the public later today. When it is released, download it again and try to install that version. It has some minor bug fixes. If that version also comes back with this error, please report it again and I will forward it to one of the developers. I already informed him of this problem for 6.3.6, he told me to ask you to revert to 6.2.14 So wait for 6.2.14 (or .15) to be the recommended version. Wait a moment, go back to services.msc and check what the status is for the Windows Installer service. And where do you install BOINC and the data directory to? The default directories, or do you change them? Does 5.10.45 install and run the service correctly? I never touched a thing...., Default, Default, Default. I have always told my clients to always accept the Default for locations. BOINC no loner shows in the list of services, under version 5.10.45 which IS working now. jphelan
31) Message boards : BOINC client : New Vesion 6.3.6 Still Won't Instill (Message 18892) Posted 28 Jul 2008 by John Phelan-Cummings Post: let's stick with 6.2.14 ... How are you installing? Protected install, I get that, but else? Did you try to change the password on the service, or otherwise adapt it after you installed BOINC? Have you tried a reboot of the machine? Are you using a domain account? What if you go to your services applet and try to start the BOINC service from there? What if you try to start up BOINC manager by hand? I did NOT try to change the password on the servie, I DID try to reboot the machine; I am NOT using a domain account; I DID try usuing the restart option undr service, and yes I tried restarting BOINC by-hand. Any other thoughts? jphelan

33) Message boards : BOINC client : New Vesion 6.3.6 Still Won't Instill (Message 18880) Posted 28 Jul 2008 by John Phelan-Cummings Post: Ever since client version 5.10.45 I have been unable to install your software. Each time I have to reinstall version 5.10.45 to get it to work. The latest error message reads: Error 1069 The sevive did not sart due to logon failure. What logon fail. Do we now have to logon every time we use the BOINC client? My firewall that came with Vista shows that It has all the permissions and of course, "service" will not work. Any ideas? I use Vista Ultimate 64 bit with all the updates. jphelan

I set my BOINC Computing Preferences to 4 or more under "On multiprocessors". I changed these preferences in bothe the BOINC client software and under computer preferrences on each of the project sites. 2. After I clicked the Update preferences, I selected the project in my manager, and then click the Update button for each of three projects. Nothing downloads to take advantage of all 4 CPUs.

How do I get the BOINC to use the additional two CPUs? jphelan In your BOINC Computing Preferences, is the "On multiprocessors, use at most" set for 4 or more processors? OK, I just changed the preference. How soon does it start? Or, is there something else I should do? jphelan
