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? |

Of the message board? Wierd. Is this the Boinc icon in the system tray? (adjacent to the date/time). I'm a volunteer and my views are my own. News and Announcements and FAQ |

I think Administrator probably means he isn\'t seeing his boinc manager normally. Cpdn news |

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%! |

Congratulations on sorting this out. After this model has completed, might it be a good idea for you to uninstall boinc altogether and then download it again, attaching to cpdn again as an existing user? That should sort out on a long-term basis whatever has gone wrong. Cpdn news |
