I just installed BOINC through the SETI site. Aparently they're still in beta so I also joined climate. I hate having a computer not doing work.

After I installed and joined, I received this log entry...

Am I doing something wrong? WIll this startup by itself?

Thanks,

It looks like you're running just fine Frank. Your system has downloaded <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/show_host_detail.php?hostid=123233">2 workunits</a> and should be working on them right now. Assuming you're running the BOINC GUI program, if you go to the work tab you should see entries for result names 0cl9_000041415_0 and 0cj6_000041339_0, with the CPU time counting up on both. If you run task manager you should be running at 100% CPU usage.
