48) Questions and Answers : Windows : error: no schedulers responded (Message 13058) Posted 2 Jun 2005 by old_user63630 Post: Hello I am using winXP Pro also and same communication problem has been occuring for 2 full days.I would not Reboot too many times.Boinc in the Past has fixed things{albeit not this long!}I tryed remeving firewall and RETRYING the project and I get the same result.No scheduler response.Then it blinks REDD which bugs me.Hopefully we can all help each other.2 days earlier could not even get to My cp net and Boinc to access these Pages. Good Luck.I am going to Linux Soon,sure it may have something to do with the Known 109 holes in Software.Good I see green and blue messages instaed of red. Good Luck!

(Message 13057) Posted 2 Jun 2005 by old_user63630 Post: Have posted many posts about THIS recent problem and have read and replyed to others.Please donnot make any rash decissions.Boinc will figure it out. I refuse to detatch from project because Forget how to realpply , and I have more Important things than helping with up and downloades.So will Sit back take a deep breath,and hope things get better.Wish i could shut Climate OFF so Einstein can Compute. UNFAIR BOINC LOL
