What is my mistake? Make sure that BOINC is truly stopped. If you have a protected install (was in the installation options for BOINC), then BOINC will be running as a service and you'll have to stop that service for it to truly stop. |

I replaced it but now when i run BOINC, my computer freezes for a sec then the screen goes black cuz the video Driver Fails. And BOINC has a bunch of tasks with computer errors. My 3870 has no load at all 0% according to Cat while BOINC is running and the status for the ones that don't have the computing error have Running(0.10 CPUs) and no work is getting done. I'm really confused, WTF is going on? |

I'm really confused, WTF is going on? Some more information could really help here. Have you completely read (and followed) the readme (guess you are trying to use 0.19e)? What driver version are you using? What OS do you have? |

I'm using Cat 9.3 and windows 7 x64 and yes .19e. As far as following directions I downloaded .19e then extracted it, then made all the system32 changes, closed BOINC which asked me if I wanted stop running my applications I said yes, checked the task manager and all that no BOINC or Milkyway. took the files put them into my milkyway project folder and there you go, restarted Boinc and everything went to hell...kind of. |

My advice, get 9.1 for vista and run it in compatiblity mode. 9.3 does not allow me to crunch and does not allow me to connect the TV properly! So by far 9.1 is the best for me and I'm in a wait and see until the native 7 drivers get more improvements and gets out of beta! |

THe question I have is if you are running beta 7 as 64-bit, why are you making changes to the 32-bit side? Should you not use the 64-bit version of MW? And the 64-bit brook? |

.19e comes in both flavors if I'm not wrong and I was using the 64-bit version although for some reason my BOINC projects are all in the x86 program files instead of the x64 ones so why that is idk. |

Maybe you need the x64 version of BOINC then? BOINC All Versions Page There is a 64 bit version on that page. If your apps are in the x86 folder, it sounds to me like you have the 32 bit BOINC client. |

i did install that one and BOINC is in both but for some reason the project is in the 32-bit file. |

Shouldn't the Project be in the C:\Program Data\Boinc folder? Also, if you have boinc folders in both Program Files and Program Files (x86) are you sure its the 64 bit one that running? |

I thought it should because it is the 64-bit one that's running, but it doesn't, idk if i should move the files or something |

Thanks, I put the "<zero_debts>1</zero_debts>" in the cc_config.xml file but it just said it wasn't recognized when I started BOINC up again and the Debts wasn't zeroed either according to BoincDV, I lowered the resource share too & will see if the ATI Card behaves better now. Needs to be a quite recent version of BOINC (6.6.x) for this option I think. |

Thats really odd. On both my Windows 7 and Vista boxes(both 64 bit) all the project data is in the C:\Program Data\Boinc folder. Not sure what's going on with your machine then. |

In some machines you'll find it in the user\app data\ path, or something like that. Do a file search for the executable and you'll find it. me@rescam.org |

Unless it was a user sperified location. Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected? If it makes sense, DON'T do it. |

it wasn't user specified but i found the exe in user\app data\ and program files(x86)\boinc |

Each version of Boinc must have different locations. Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected? If it makes sense, DON'T do it. |

Is it okay to use the .16 version? Any major bugs with it? Still get credit for it? Just wondering as I accidentally downloaded the .16 version instead of the .19 from zslip and it seemed to be crunching away on some WU's... I changed it to .19 and it seems slower... is that right? I figured with a newer version it would be faster. |

Perhaps I was wrong... Unless it was just different on my main desktop from my laptop. I see BOINC pulls down a .19 app, is that the same as the one from zslip? Sorry if it's the explained in the hundreds of posts... but I guess I just need it told to me a different way ;) |
