boincmanger.exe is running but not boinc.exe
That would be the problem then, boinc.exe is the main back end and needs to be running to do anything, while boincmanager.exe is only a front end for easy management.
What type of install did you do? If you did a service install it should be running boinc.exe in the background as a service whenever the machine is on, if so check services.msc for what's going on... If you did one of the other installation types I'd assume boinc.exe should be in msconfig or else the startup folder, though I don't know if things differ in vista... I seem to remember boinc manager starting up boinc.exe in the past, but I don't know anymore since I use the service install along with boincview to manage instead...

???? I reinstalled it and it worked but after I shut it down it stops working .
you guys are correct when I reinstall it boinc.exe shows up.
So you reinstalled it and it's still not working when you restart? What installation type(single user, multi user, or service) and version? I would suggest service if you don't mind boinc always starting up with the system.
wooooo hooooo I installed 5.10.13 instead and its working perfect as a service.
Thank you Movieman and rcofell for offering your help . Movieman even offered to call me. Thank you . FYI I have SAS Harddrives so they are very loud and running like crazy . My GF told me to "turn that s**t off" I'm going to stick it into the garage :) thanks again.
No problem, good to hear things worked out.
Luckly you managed to escape the phone call from Dave, you should be glad you still have the use of your ears, even if all you can hear is those SAS drives :D . I just think he's getting lonely in his old age, nobody goes to visit him :rofl: ;)
Now where's that whistling coming from...
LOL You guys are hilarious.
I have three more computers
One with two PIII / 2GB's / 4 10K SCSI 36GB Drives /
One Brisbane x2 3600 / 1GB / Tforce 550 / ATI Cheapo GPU
A Dell 4400 Dimension
Once I get my cable hooked up all of them are going to be working. How much should my electric bill jump ?
Depending on what your rates are, I'd say the Brisbane should be ~$4-6, since my 4000+ Brisbane(x1900xt, so that might be taking a bit of power too) is clocked at 2.7GHz and is only taking 122 Watts atm.
As for the other systems I'd say they probably run about the same, the dual PIII's might take more since its got the scsi drives, but if they're tualatins(my favorite cpu I'd have to say) that would be better.
Just joined the forum and the extreme systems WCG team. This is my first post so hello everyone :) My rig is only a 3.0 Celeron but its up 24/7 running linux so will leave it crunching. I'm planning on upgrading after lots of research and penny saving.
Cheers

Welcome to the tam, Andy! :)
Glad you're with us.
I just joined WCG-BOINC... Any idea where I can get a stats-type sig? I looked on free-dc and can't find it :( maybe I am just too tired to see it.
anyway, I might be running this on 4 systems soon. currently have 3, just need to set the other two up :D
:welcome:
Thanks for helping, but I'd wager it's a good thing the computers are doing the math, I see FIVE systems you could have up & running for the cause !
Check out this thread, the first few links will show you how to make a sig.

Thanks for coming to a great team!!:up: :up: :welcome:
Just remember, you wont see points for a few days. Just be patient & they will come.

I followed the FAQ page to set it up. But if I have read WCG's site correctly...it takes at minimum 24hrs since first completed batch. Which completed 8 hrs ago. Currently am only running my P4-D 3.4. I'll have it up on my PentiumM @ 1.7 and my C2D @ 2.2 here soon. Then my future build within' the month :D
:welcome:
Might as well. I just registered as Bobsama_XtremeSystems but I can't install the client as this PC (yes the junky AMD K6 550MHz) is too old and chokes as it is and I don't have admin priv on it.
