Posted 2 Aug 2009 by KingKoz Post: Hmmm.....I just noticed that on the BOINC project list page there are a few projects that have "Unknown" listed for project OS. So, either they have decided to stop all new work for project users that don't currently have the project connected or a glitch in the software that takes the info for new work from a database and since that project is listed as "Unknown OS" nobody new can connect. |

Posted 2 Aug 2009 by KingKoz Post: I am using an account manager BOINC Manager. Same as I have been using for years. The only thing that has changed is the version of BOINC and maybe soem hardware upgrades....but nothing recently and certainly nothing since I noticed the problem. I guess I am going to look for BOINC V 6.4 and remove the current version to see if I still have the problem. |

Posted 2 Aug 2009 by KingKoz Post: I have tried adding the Spinhenge project. It doesn't happen. I get a dialog box stating this project has no work for your computer type. I run WinXP (32bit) SP3. It's not like I am the only one using that OS, so there must be a problem somewhere else. |

Posted 2 Aug 2009 by KingKoz Post: I was using 6.4.?? and it worked fine. I have been crunching the same 6 projects (almost) from the start. And there is nothing on the Spinhenge site different than it has been. I think they all work on windows systems. I have been running WinXP for a long time and have been upgrading my system(s) on a regular basis. Not to mention have been running all my projects on WinXP SP3 since the time SP3 came out. Seems more like something changed in BOINC with the most recent versions. or perhaps Spinhenge no longer has work for WinXP machines but like I said earlier, my other systems running BLOINC are receiving and sending WU's to Spinhenge with no problems. |

Posted 31 Jul 2009 by KingKoz Post: Hello, After upgrading to v6.6.36 I have noticed a small problem when trying to attach to a project. In the list of available projects, some are grayed out attempting to attach throws a dialog box saying "this project may not have work for your type computer" and won't let me attach to the project. In this case, Spinhenge. I am signed up for 6 projects total (and have been for a long time. I first noticed this problem after thinking I wanted to test Windows 7. But after deciding Win 7 isn't ready for me, I formatted and went back to Win XP SP3 (current on updates) but Spinhenge is still grayed out and it gives me the dialog box. My system is an Athlon 64 X2 5200+ 4gigs ram, ATI Radeon X1650 Pro video and I use Firefox v3.5.1 (also with regular updates) and all of the 6 projects I run (including Spinhenge) have run on this same PC configuration in the past with no issues. a couple weeks after the format/install I got a bad virus and had to format and reinstall again. Once again the same thing. So, I thought maybe it was just a fluke with my system or something I an running now and not before. But this time, I didn't install half the progs I had before and still the dialog box. I am also running BOINC (same 6 projects) on 4 other pcs WinXP and Spinhenge runs fine on them. So, now I am here looking for help because it seems that it might be a bug in the new version. Any Ideas? Koz |

BOINC Manager :
screensaver not working after cpu upgrade
(Message 16608)
Posted 11 Apr 2008 by KingKoz Post:
Yes, other screensavers work fine. BOINC is the only one that won't "release" the screensaver and go back to the desktop and NONE of the projects would activate the "show graphics" buitton. It was grayed out for all projects. I have figured out the problem though......turns out that when I upgraded my ATI Radeon drivers and the Catalyst software, it added in Hydravision. So, I thought I'd try a 2nd monitor connected to the card and let my pc go into screensaver mode. I was surprised to see the black screen on my main monitor and the screensaver on my 2nd monitor. I reset the vid card back to one monitor and now the screensaver seems to be working correctly again. Thanks for the help. problem solved! :-) Koz |

screensaver not working after cpu upgrade
(Message 16602)
Posted 11 Apr 2008 by KingKoz Post: I am hoping someone else has had this problem and can help me correct it on my pc. I had an Athlon 64 3600+ cpu, running windows xp sp2 (32bit) and all drivers are current. I was also running BOINC manager v5.10.30 and all was working fine. I upgraded to an Athlon 64 X2 5000+ (cpu only) and I noticed that when my system went to the screensaver, it no longer shows the graphical screensavers like it did before the upgrade. The program seems to be running fine, I just have a black screen and moving the mouse or hitting a key does nothing. I can hit CTRL ALT DEL and go to task manager, then just close tm and I am ack to the desktop. So, I noticed that BOINC v5.10.45 was out so I dloaded and installed (after uninstalling first). Same problem, when my system goes to screensaver, I get a black screen (no, its not set to go to blank in settings) and ONLY a 3 fingered salute seems to bring it out of screensaver mode. Any help/ideas?? I'm stumped. Is there a X2/dual core version of BOINC maybe? Thanks koz |
