Hello,

I recently installed the BOINC software that supports virtual machines. Knowing how to spell "virtual machine" is all I know about the subject. Is the message telling me that the software cleaned up something or that I'm supposed to do something? I think the latter because my Rosetta@home work units are not being processed on all my PCs.

From other posts I've read that there is software called Oracle VM Virtual Box that others have used to do the "cleaning. Other than opening the software I don't know what to do with it.

A detailed step by step procedure for how I should proceed would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Ed Machak

When running a project that requires a VirtualBox installed like rosetta python, LHC@home, QuChemPedIA@home, if i see in the BOINC manager a message that a task is "unmanageable" I simply exit BOINC and then restart BOINC. It works most of the times.
