1) Questions and Answers : Windows : after installing boinc 6.4.5, my user average has gone to zero! (Message 35794) Posted 2 Jan 2009 by tookalooka2010 Post: Hi Tookalooka, happy new year! Your model is doing well and trickled a few hours ago. By \'user average\' I think you mean your recent average credit. Under your name here on the forum your RAC is listed as 304. Maybe the server needed an extra contact with your computer to update it. The trickle will have provided this extra contact. Do you think everything is all right now? i guess ... i just thought it was really strange that the graph plummeted so quickly over a few days ... thought perhaps the program was acting goofy. the user average was up to 348 at one point, and it seemed like if the program was actually doing anything, the average should at least stay the same. it\'s still gaining cpu time, but only trickles every 24 hours ... which seems to be the case on certain models, while other models trickle almost every 4 or 5 hours. if it looks ok at your end, i\'ll just let it run and see what happens. thanks!

3) Questions and Answers : Windows : new microsoft windows XP \"security updates\" cause boinc to die (Message 35290) Posted 17 Oct 2008 by tookalooka2010 Post: You could reinstall the updates one by one to identify which is causing the problem. also thought of that, but as i removed them, it was indicated that removal of one would cause the others (of the listed group of updates) to not function correctly ... so i\'m inclined to think that i\'ll just wait a while and see what microsoft does. this happened several years ago ... updates that caused problems. took them about three months to come out with \'new\' updates that didn\'t cause the problems. oddly enough, the old updates kinda \'disappeared\'. ;) it\'s working now, so i\'m leaving it alone for a while.
