In that time, I have seen no new activity. What am I missing? Thanks ... and Happy Holidays. - David ID: 64886 · Reply Quote

Last modified: 21 Dec 2021, 4:50:55 UTC Les is correct about the lack of available Windows tasks. However, your inability to contact the cpdn servers is due to a boinc certificate issue that was solved in boinc version 7.16.20. You can download that version here. ID: 64888 · Reply Quote
