1) Questions and Answers : Windows : Boinc Manager says I\'m running but Task Manager says not (Message 38831) Posted 2 Feb 2010 by charles joyner Post: When I downloaded BOINC 6.10.18 I did not get to the page that I needed. I went here: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php I needed to go here: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php And so I downloaded the 32-bit version for the XP 32-bit computer and also installed it on my 64-bit computer. My sincere and humble apologies. I have downloaded and installed the 64-bit version of BOINC 6.10.18 which looks and feels the same as the 32-bit version but is running all the projects just fine, thank you very much. I have taken your valuable time for an idiots mistake. Thank you all. Mea culpa.
2) Questions and Answers : Windows : Boinc Manager says I\'m running but Task Manager says not (Message 38830) Posted 2 Feb 2010 by charles joyner Post: I have suspended Rosetta and SETI on the projects tab and Climate won\'t get new tasks. Network activity is suspended. I then resumed the Climate units, starting with the one that worked for awhile. This first one is incrementing \"time to complete\" at about two seconds for each second of elapsed time and progress does not change. The others are resumed and running but only increment the elapsed time. The CUDA is suspended. Task manager says none are running.
3) Questions and Answers : Windows : Boinc Manager says I\'m running but Task Manager says not (Message 38828) Posted 2 Feb 2010 by charles joyner Post: I have been using two computers: the Gateway (Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33GHz [Intel64 Family 6 Model 23 Stepping 7] Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium x64 Edition, Service Pack 2, (06.00.6002.00)) ID 941824 and this one I built myself (Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.06GHz [x86 Family 15 Model 2 Stepping 7] Microsoft Windows XP Professional x86 Edition, Service Pack 3, (05.01.2600.00)) ID 461805 I downloaded boinc_6.10.18_windows_intelx86.exe on 2 Dec 2009 and installed it on the Gateway 3 Dec 2009. My other computer is currently too unstable to find out when I installed Boinc 6.10.18 and I have not yet determined if the problem is hardware or a video driver. After 8 years and a new motherboard, video card and power supply the CPU and memory have endured a lot of heating. The Gateway is now a year old. When I became aware that no progress was apparent the modules were well toward completion, but I don\'t recall how far. I sometimes use a sidebar gadget that displays CPU and memory use and when I launched it I saw numbers like 31% for CPU use--barely more than one processor equivalent of the four. I have been used to seeing 100% with Boinc taking over 95%. The CUDA is used only by SETI at this point. Boinc Manager currently shows elapsed time 00:33:03, progress 0.000% and to completion 487:14:11 for three of the modules that were downloaded when I neglected to set climate at \"no new units\" and suspended the other projects with them both set to \"no new units\". The other unit somehow worked til I rebooted the computer and shows elapsed 01:23:39, progress 0.335% and to completion 485:07:14. It appears that those final three have not even started. Graphics show 00:00 time and date for them. Boinc Manager shows a flat graph for the last month for Climate. The other projects do show graph progress. Do trickles get any credit to affect the graph?
4) Questions and Answers : Windows : Boinc Manager says I\'m running but Task Manager says not (Message 38824) Posted 1 Feb 2010 by charles joyner Post: I rebooted to try to get the extra copies of the .exe processes out of memory. When I look at task manager I now see four copies of hadsm3_um_6.07_windows_intelx86.exe and four copies of hadsm3_6.07_windows_intelx86.exe and all are zero for CPU use and total CPU time. Boinc Manager says all climate modules are running elapsed time is incrementing but still no progress.
5) Questions and Answers : Windows : Boinc Manager says I\'m running but Task Manager says not (Message 38823) Posted 1 Feb 2010 by charles joyner Post: I have suspended everything except the Climate models. The status of each is \"running\". In the \"Messages\" tab I have that each one is resumed by user and then that each is using hadsm3 version 607. When I look at task manager I now see 15 copies of hadsm3_um_6.07_windows_intelx86.exe and four copies of hadsm3_6.07_windows_intelx86.exe and of these one of the latter shows four seconds of total use with the rest zero for CPU use and total CPU time. Nothing unusual in the messages.

7) Questions and Answers : Windows : Boinc Manager says I\'m running but Task Manager says not (Message 38815) Posted 31 Jan 2010 by charles joyner Post: I rebooted and then launched Boinc manager. I show all Climate models as running and none are working correctly: time increments correctly but no progress.
8) Questions and Answers : Windows : Boinc Manager says I\'m running but Task Manager says not (Message 38814) Posted 31 Jan 2010 by charles joyner Post: I show four tasks as running but only the first is running correctly. Graphics for it are correct.
9) Questions and Answers : Windows : Boinc Manager says I\'m running but Task Manager says not (Message 38813) Posted 31 Jan 2010 by charles joyner Post: Everything else is suspended and no new tasks for them. Climate downloaded three more models and they show with elapsed time incrementing but no progress. Task manager shows them to be inactive and their graphics is the default with 00:00 time and date. To completion for them has not declined any.
10) Questions and Answers : Windows : Boinc Manager says I\'m running but Task Manager says not (Message 38810) Posted 31 Jan 2010 by charles joyner Post: Also when I display the graphics for the three non-performing models I get a blue temperature globe with date and time both 00:00. Suspending the CUDA SETI does not change this.
11) Questions and Answers : Windows : Boinc Manager says I\'m running but Task Manager says not (Message 38808) Posted 31 Jan 2010 by charles joyner Post: That\'s the best guess. And the way to test it, is to set all projects to No new tasks, Suspend all non-climate wus, and see if BOINC starts running the climate models. Please post back with the result of doing this. Setting the other projects to \"won\'t get new tasks\" and suspending their active and \"ready to start\" models caused Climate to download another model and to begin it. This model appears to function properly and task manager also shows this one model with 25 percent of the system (one CPU). I am loathe to abort the other three models but this seems to be indicated. Agree?
12) Questions and Answers : Windows : Boinc Manager says I\'m running but Task Manager says not (Message 38806) Posted 31 Jan 2010 by charles joyner Post: I have Vista home premium 64-bit on a Gateway LX6810-01 (quad core duo). Not paying attention I see no progress on the three climate models for the past month. My stats graph is flat. Boinc Manager says I\'m running but Windows Task Manager shows no activity. I also run SETI and Rosetta and they show activity. When only these two projects are running I show four active tasks making progress. Only climateprediction has a problem. Ideas? Hi, charles Are either or both Seti and Rosetta running in high priority mode? In order not to miss their short deadlines BOINC could be running them while it keeps Climateprediction suspended. I have allocated CPU use at 200 for Climate and 100 each for SETI and Rosetta. In Boinc manager I see, for example, three Climate models shown as running with the the elapsed time advancing but no change in the progress percentage. The time remaining has declined some on two but the third has increased. Looking at Rosetta those same columns advance or decline as expected. I neglected to say that the GPU is being used by SETI alone, so that when I hover over the system tray Boinc icon the message shows 5 tasks running
