Hi,

First : sorry for my poor english (i\'m french).

My config is :
OS : Windows Professional, version 2002, Service Pack 3.
PC : Pentium 4, double CPU \"3.20 GHz\", 1 Go RAM.

The problem is :
Since i\'ve installed BOINC on my PC, all my windows (Firefox, world, Excel... etc) freezed when I have to move them. Even when BOINC is not started.

I check the CPU usage :
4% used for CPU (when BOING is suspended)

I have the same problem when I started this machine, with an other account, who didn\'t have privileges to run BOINC.

So, i\'m pretty sure that this problem not occured only when BOINC is running, but since BOINC is installed...

Could you please help me to understand ?
(please, try to used simple english words... I have never learned english !)

Thanks in advance,
Tibo

One of the projects you are running is a Slab model, which is recommended to have a minimum of 1.5G of memory. All of Climate projects are large and use a bit of memory. If you can get your machine upgraded to 2G, your issues will probably be less.

Good luck.


Un des projets en cours d\'exécution est un modèle de la dalle, ce qui est recommandé d\'avoir un minimum de 1,5 g de la mémoire. Tous les projets sont de grands climatique et de l\'utilisation un peu de mémoire. Si vous pouvez obtenir votre ordinateur mis à niveau pour la 2G, vos questions seront probablement moins.

Bonne chance.
