Been doing some hard drive cleanup on one of my machines and after a reboot it will not connect to the client. Looking at the task manager it doesn\'t look like it\'s even running (the client that is). Tried re-installing to to avail. BTW, the cleanup I was doing was on a completely different physical drive, so that should have no effect. So how do I get things back to normal?? Mark |

Are you using the latest version of BOINC (5.2.13)? Try that if not. As a belt and braces approach, I\'d uninstall from control panel first (you won\'t lose your BOINC folder). And try the old fallback of rebooting. If you are still having problems, you could try searching the BOINC and SETI@Home boards as your problem is not unique. And tell us how you got on. |

Unfortunately I have already made those attempts. I\'ll see what I can find on the other boards, but if this takes too long I may try ghosting the machine back to an image when it still worked. Thanks for the help. Edit - ADD: After looking on the SETI boards (http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=23265#197842 to be more precise) I read about firewall issues and found where Jens Seidler was listing general connection issues. Something clicked when he was talking about the differences between single/shared installs and service installs. I remembered that I once had loaded ths machine as a service and now it looked like boincmgr was expecting something else to launch boinc. So I re-installed yet again but this time as a service and everything came right up. It\'s like somewhere a re-install as a shared install didn\'t change something in the windows registery and still expected it as a service. Why it ran the first time, I have no clue. The machine had been running for 3 months and still would have been if I hadn\'t decided to repartition another drive and re-install linux on it. FWIW, this was on a W2K setup on an Athlon XP3200+ with 1G ram and more drive space than I know what to do with. Mark |
