is there a way to dbl-check the version # within the client?

Help/About BOINC Manager. 5.2.7 is, I think, the latest recommended release.

Again, I know some people are paranoid about showing their computer info, but click on my name and look at what it shows for mine. It's not everything it will show YOU for your computers, but it would let us see what you're running, look at results, etc...

it shows that i'm running 5.2.6

i'll give the xml edit a try in the morning. my preference settings are all correct, ie. there is no restriction on 'Do work only between the hours of'.

thanks for the help so far. :)

I'll go ahead and post what I would try, to save time, in case it's not a web pref. This may not work, haven't done it, but it's a possibility. First, stop BOINC and all science apps completely; File/Exit, then verify with task manager. Make a backup copy of the entire BOINC folder just in case. Locate "client_state.xml" in the BOINC folder. Near the top, just after host_info, are time_stats. The one in question is "active_frac". Change that value to 1.000000 (that's six zeroes). Change nothing else. Save the file, relaunch BOINC, hit "Update" on Rosetta and see if it gives you a ton of work...

EDIT:: I'm assuming Windows, so "open with Notepad" is the way to do this. If not Windows, any plain-text editor should be okay.

@Bill, entering the single digit "1" is easier.

Bill,

your xml edit did the trick. after i restarted boinc, it began downloading more WU's. i hit the 100 limit, so i don't think that machine has enough to tide me over the holidays but it's better than it was before.

much appreciated. :)

ps. sorry for the late reply. all hell broke loose yesterday on what should have been a quiet day and was busy plugging holes...

your xml edit did the trick.

Glad to help - I don't know how your computer got down to that 35%, so you probably should keep an eye on it... but at least it's reset now, hopefully in time for the long weekend, if some of those WUs you got are the long ones!
