1) Questions and Answers : Windows : user interface vanished (Message 31082) Posted 23 Oct 2007 by old_user377608 Post: I have resolved my problem. The Icon I referred to was the desktop icon by which I formerly launched the BOINC manager. Somehow it became degraded such that it only loaded boinc.exe, filling the screen with the MS-DOS type of message summary. When I returned to windows via ctrl-alt-del the hadsm3fub task was restarted, as shown by Process Explorer (procexp.exe). Eventually I decided to re-install the lot via boinc_5.10.20_windows_intelx86.exe and that has re-created my access to the boinc manager interface. I now have identical icons, one loading boinc.exe and the newer one loading boincmgr.exe During the interval my task completion has risen to 38%!
2) Questions and Answers : Windows : user interface vanished (Message 30975) Posted 16 Oct 2007 by old_user377608 Post: Since switching from BBC I have been running one of Oxford\'s relatively lightweight tasks: after a few days the user interface vanished - all I get when clicking the BOINC icon is a MS-DOS type black-and-white version of the message board. I found I could get back from the DOS interface to the Windows desktop via ctrl-alt-del, but I would like to be able to UPDATE and see how far the task has got, for which I need the BOINC user interface restored - but HOW?
3) Questions and Answers : Windows : How far did I get? (Message 30652) Posted 22 Sep 2007 by old_user377608 Post: Hi again I can\'t get through to your BBC project results pages. Could you please look in your boinc/BBC manager messages tab and tell us your computer ID number for the BBC project. It will be in about line 7. Thanks. ID=177214 I haven\'t got a half-recent backup! I stopped occasional backups during the third experiment, stability seemd so good. Plus, I was reasoning that it should be as easy for HQ to start me half way through as to start me at the beginning.
