1) Questions and Answers : Windows : Blocked BOINC startup program - Win Vista (Message 52344) Posted 9 Apr 2008 by Islands in the Sun Post: See if the steps detailed over here work for you. Very cool! Thank you very much. I am much happier now that the program starts on its own and Vista is none the wiser. Now I will try and tweek the task where the program still appears running in the system tray, but is hidden until I click 'Open BOINC Manager'. Thanks again for the help.
2) Questions and Answers : Windows : Blocked BOINC startup program - Win Vista (Message 52333) Posted 8 Apr 2008 by Islands in the Sun Post: My computer blocks BOINC from starting up at login. Each time I restart I have to right-click on the icon in the system tray and tell it to run the program and then Vista asks if I'm sure I want to run the program! Is there any setting I can change that will tell the operating system that it's ok to run BOINC at startup?
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Rosetta crashing for two days now (Message 40360) Posted 5 May 2007 by Islands in the Sun Post: The new the version 5.62 I believe is the culprit. Hopefully you have been aware of this before now and are working on a fix. If it is not from the new version, then what do I do? Thanks. This is a post on Number Cruching by Rhiju Attention PowerPC Mac users Unfortunately, the current rosetta@home version (5.62) doesn't work on all power-PC's. It has to do with updates to the BOINC API code (out of our hands!), and we suspect that it only involves users with Mac OS X 10.3.9, because we didn't see any problems on our local powerPC machines or on our test server ralph. David Kim and I are working on it, right now. If you want to help, please do attach your project to ralph -- there will be an update to 5.63 later tonight that will (hopefully) fix the problem! Thanks for the info!
4) Questions and Answers : Getting started : How do I remove a computer from my account? (Message 40334) Posted 4 May 2007 by Islands in the Sun Post: Once all the tasks assciated with that host have been removed from the database you can delete it. If the CPU and OS have not changed you may be able to merge it with the new host sooner though. Thanks. My new computer is a new CPU and different OS, so how do I delete the old computer from my lists of computers? No need to worry about it. When it fails to report in anymore, it will drop from your list of "active" hosts. Cool! Thanks.
