One of them I had to uninstall and delete everything in the BOINC directory to get it working. <br>John Keck -- BOINCing since 2002/12/08 -- <a href="http://www.boinc.dk/index.php?page=user_statistics&project=cpdn&userid=191"><img border="0" height="80" src="http://191.cpdn.sig.boinc.dk?188"></a> ID: 2180 · Reply Quote

I re-installed 3.2 then 4.05 as suggested elsewhere, but still got the crash. I then removed (and cleaned up after) BOINC entirely and installed 4.05, it ran just fine. I then attached to CPDN, it downloaded the client and a WU, exited the WU with an unrecoverable error, and crashed while downloading the next WU. SAH is not available at the moment for testing, but given that it crashed before I am not confident. ID: 2207 · Reply Quote

Seti should work without a problem, else kick the Alpha crew. ;) -------------------- Jordâ„¢ <img src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/cpdn/stats.php?userID=2&trans=off"> ID: 2208 · Reply Quote

Perhaps BOINC dev should have opened beta again like they said they would. This would have given a larger cross section than the too small alpha. <a href="http://www.boinc.dk/index.php?page=user_statistics&project=cpdn&userid=355"><img border="0" height="80" src="http://355.cpdn.sig.boinc.dk?188"></a> ID: 2240 · Reply Quote
