1) Questions and Answers : Windows : Problems logging in to my account (Message 14918) Posted 4 Aug 2005 by old_user46548 Post: When I try to log into my account, I paste the code in, and click Login, but it always rejects my account details. A couple of days ago, I went down the \"Forgotten account\" route and had it sent again. When I copy & pasted that string (same as I had been trying) it worked. But today, it fails. Also, is cannot remember my login, even though cookies are enabled. What is happening?

Thanks. One more question, "short runs or full runs" Where can I see that?

It still wants 73Mb. I have 1.1 Gb free now that I have turned off hibernation. What bugs me is how when the Leave at laest figure goes down, the amount needed can go either up or down. Wierd!
5) Questions and Answers : Windows : BOINC Manager has lost all items in the Work tab after reboot (Message 14543) Posted 20 Jul 2005 by old_user46548 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!

If there was some sort of concrete reward for our contribution, then you would definately have a point. But there isn't (unless I missed something?), so maybe we should just try to improve the engine. BTW, I just lost a couple of weeks worth of work on one machine. Now I have to wait a bit longer to get to my target ranking in the stats. :-( My two Eurocents worth.

Updated the project in Boinc, and it came back with a message saying that it needed an additional 73Mb of disk space. That\'s right: I told it to leave LESS space, but it asked for MORE! Leave 0.2Gb wanted 27MB Leave 0.1Gb wanted 73Mb. Tried a few more options but cannot get it restarted. Leave 0.01 wanted 163Mb Leave 1Gb, wanted 827Mb Boinc is using 496Mb and there is 1.5Gb available. Help!
7) Questions and Answers : Preferences : \"Show Graphics\" display not working properly (Message 8142) Posted 30 Jan 2005 by old_user46548 Post: > Check your power settings in control panel. Your monitor may switch off after > a few hours. Set it to never. > That does not seem to answer the question - if this was the problem, then how would he know that it was still working properly? I have the same problem on ONE of three machines that I am running. The other 2 pop up the screensaver and graphics just fine. I set the power options to turn the screen off after 1 hour, but that never kicks in on any of the 3 computers. So the question is still outstanding.
