1) Message boards : Cafe CPDN : Solution for service installation of BOINC and show graphics feature (Message 16270) Posted 26 Sep 2005 by Andy Heard Post: Well, I\'ve tried that on Windows XP and although BOINC runs, the graphics button is grayed out.
2) Message boards : Cafe CPDN : Solution for service installation of BOINC and show graphics feature (Message 16269) Posted 26 Sep 2005 by Andy Heard Post: I have solution for problem with showing graphics in BOINC. The only thing you have to do is: 1. Open \"Computer Management\" (Right click on \"My Computer\" and click on \"Maintenace\") 2. Open \"Services and applications\" and select \"Services\". 3. Find service called \"BOINC\", double click on it and open the second tab called \"Login\". 4. Set login from \"This account:\" to \"Local system account\" and click \"OK\" to save chcanges. And that\'s it! Restart service or computer and graphics will show now! It is not needed to allow service to interact with desktop. All work well (TESTED).
3) Message boards : Cafe CPDN : BOINC Crashes (Message 16264) Posted 26 Sep 2005 by Andy Heard Post: Since moving to BOINC from the classic experiment I seem to be getting a load more crashes than I used to. At least the last three simulations have all failed at various stages of the experiment. Presumably this means the work was lost. Am I the only one getting this? I\'m using 4.45 of BOINC on Windows XP.
4) Questions and Answers : Windows : BOINC Manager has lost all items in the Work tab after reboot (Message 14537) Posted 20 Jul 2005 by Andy Heard Post: Thanks for your input on this, and if you'll have me then I'll even join your team ! As for BOINC: well, that'll teach me! But to be honest, I can't be the only one this has happened to, and it's a poor result all in all. How many teracycles of CPU have gone down the tubes I wonder. I'd set BOINC so that it idles when "user is active", but that obviously isn't enough to close the application tidily. Fatuous Question: what's the opposite of "bullet-proof"? Answer: BOINC. :-(
5) Questions and Answers : Windows : BOINC Manager has lost all items in the Work tab after reboot (Message 14530) Posted 20 Jul 2005 by Andy Heard Post: I shutdown and restarted my machine without remembering to close BOINC (v 4.43). On restart the BOINC manager shows the climateprediction.net Project but there are no \"Work\" items. Before the shutdown one Work item was about 50% through, and one was scheduled. Any way to get back my ongoing work?
