21) Message boards : Questions and problems : Error 2718 New Install Message 115957 Posted 22 Apr 2025 by Jord	Installer Error 2718 apparently means that the Windows Installer Service is disabled, and needs to be re-enabled. Here's how to do that: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-installer-has-an-error-code-2718/d3b50117-40be-4e7a-836e-9d8e2599865e For all the other installer trouble, and if Grant's proposal didn't work, see this BOINC FAQ.
22) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Ubuntu software center - BOINC manager not responding Message 115956 Posted 22 Apr 2025 by Jord	Can you post the first 30 orso lines of the BOINC startup log, please? Also, do know that BOINC in Ubuntu repository is updated by the Ubuntu package manager. Any glaring errors in the code should be taken up with them, not us. That said, this sounds more like a permissions problem, hence me asking your BOINC startup log. Let's see what that says.

25) Message boards : GPUs : BOINC does not recognize the correct GPU driver Message 115925 Posted 17 Apr 2025 by Jord	In reply to Erich56's message of 17 Apr 2025: So in my opinion the problem clearly is with BOINC, right? All BOINC does is recognize the driver according to drivers on your system. If the driver part in the designated place is wrong, then it can only recognize it wrong. AMD and Intel use their own OpenCL drivers, but OpenCL being an open standard, the file can essentially run on all hardware that can run OpenCL, and so your Nvidia GPU can recognize AMD's and Intel's OpenCL driver as its own. Hence my request to delete for them as well. Even the OpenCL driver for an Intel CPU can throw a spanner.
26) Message boards : GPUs : BOINC does not recognize the correct GPU driver Message 115918 Posted 16 Apr 2025 by Jord	Did you run DDU only for Nvidia drivers? If you did, try rerunning it and choose AMD and Intel as well.
27) Message boards : GPUs : BOINC does not recognize the correct GPU driver Message 115904 Posted 15 Apr 2025 by Jord	My advice is to run Display Driver Uninstaller from https://www.guru3d.com/download/display-driver-uninstaller-download/ in Windows Safe Mode and after cleaning everything and rebooting, to reinstall the newest drivers and try again. It's possible that an older CUDA/OpenCL file is stuck somewhere on the PC and throwing spanners in the works.
28) Message boards : The Lounge : Grumbles, Glory and All Your Off Topic Discussions Message 115901 Posted 15 Apr 2025 by Jord	Yesterday I posted a comment on X, that a police person had made about the occupation of Het Maagdenhuis in Amsterdam by pro-Palestinian "demonstrators" (who immediately upon entering the building started trashing it and spraying crap on the walls). During yesterday the comment quietly gained likes, the last low value I saw was this morning, 55. After that it's exploded. 9,567 Views with over 550 likes. I'm dumbstruck. 😱😁
29) Message boards : Questions and problems : Issue with Virtual Box... Message 115893 Posted 12 Apr 2025 by Jord	Make sure you install everything correctly. And do not install BOINC as a service, but as a user installation. https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_8.0.2_windows_x86_64_vbox.exe running this will start the BOINC installer followed immediately by the VBox installer. You have to finish both. And probably need to restart to get everything for VBox installed and registered. You start BOINC after you started VBox, as BOINC will not start VBox for you.
30) Message boards : Questions and problems : GPU no longer detected? Message 115892 Posted 12 Apr 2025 by Jord	In the third screen of the installer, you can click Advanced and get onto a screen where you can set which directories the BOINC programs and data directory have to be installed in. Here you can also set things like service installation and whether or not to use the screen saver.
