Really, so how does that work when it automatically starts at login?? 

Anthony

I found the problem with BT not starting at login. The registry entry 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run' showed' EFMER_BoincTasks' with an empty data value.

Nevertheless when I want to deselect 'start BT at login' the program hangs.

Anthony.

No, the main installing folder is exactly the same as when I first installed Boinc, C:\Program Files\BOINC
And the project folders are also where they have to be: C:\ProgramData\BOINC
I only created the extra boinc folder for my second GPU: C:\ProgramData\BOINC2

BTW, when I wanted to deselect 'start BT at login' the program hung, and BT won't startup at login while the option is on.
Also when internet explorer is not running and I select Boinctasks manual or Boinctasks forum from the help menu then it won't go there. Internet explorer has to be running for that to work.

Anthony.

Yes I did check the Windows-7-PC localhost in the computers tav. It said not connected.
The 'Start boinc client' option is on (I've never turned it off).

Anthony.

Nope, I was wrong. BT didn't start the main boinc client  .
I'm administrator on my system, always have been as I'm single so no one else uses my computer.

Do you want me to set the connect value in the log.xml again?

Anthony.

I just rebooted my system and v1.27 did start my main client. But now I have firewall problems, I can't access the internet when the settings are set to normal, so now I have to turn on 'allow all network traffic'. Maybe the problem are somewhat connected, I don't know. Internet connection failed on me numerous times with the program I got from my internetprovider (Telfort). They couldn't solve the problem (the came with a lame answer) so I contacted F-Secure yesterday (where the program originnaly came from) and gave me instructions to send a file (generated by a help program) to them. I didn't need to yesterday, cause internet worked, but now that it doesn't I ran their help program and mailed them the output.

I'll exit v1.27, stop the boinc client, start BT and see if the boinc client will start up too.

Anthony.

BT v1.27 still won't start my main boinc client. After start (or before) start of v1.27 I have to start BoincManager to start the main boinc client. After enabling 'stop boinc client on exit' BT exits normally but it doesn't seem to stop the main boinc client.

Starting the boinc client wasn't a problem in BT v1.09

But the alternative doesn't work for me. It would mean I have to throw a perfectly good card (old but still good enough for some stuff) in the bin as I can't sell it as it isn't worth anything. And if I buy an ATI card which project that I run can I use it for. I need an ATI double precision card then, so I could use it for MilkyWay. What will those cost me? And are those 2 projects the only projects where I can use ATI cards (from the projects I run)?

Going to bed now as it's 4:42 AM overhere.

Did you read the next post too. It happened to be a driver problem, so I wasn't the only one with a lot of computation errors. Since I updated the driver I've hadn't had any problem except for the driver crashes when I suspend Collatz or exit the Collatz boinc client, but no computation errors. But I wrote to Nvidia about the driver crash problem. It isn't that big of a problem as I only suspend Collatz when I want to watch (recorded) TV. And lately I havent watched much (but still kept recording so I should watch because I'm running out of space on my 1.5 TB total drive space on this system).

So after 2.5-3 week I totally forgot about that post. Can you blame me, I might have other things on my mind, then to remember something that's been solved for 3 weeks and has been on my mind that oktober 23rd for maybe less than an hour.

I f*cked up my brain already with 23.5 years of smoking marihuana (I quit smoking it since the 2nd half of July this year after having not smoked it the first half year of this year when I was in a psychiatric hospital/clinic because I have a deathwish.

I still take tranqelizers to calm me down and those aren't that good for your memory either. So I'm sorry I forgot something that wasn't an issue anymore.

Anthony.

You would also get rid of your Collatz problems:  "I run mini-collatz on my GF8600GT in a dual GPU setup and I get a lot of computation errors."

I don't have a lot of computation erorrs. Where did I say that? You can check it here.

And I only run Collatz because that's the only project I know that will run on my 8600GT 256MB, and I want to use that card too. Otherwise I wouldn't even have signed up for the project.

Anthony.

If I turn off 'stop boinc client on exit' then I don't have problems exiting the program.

I will edit the log.xml and start logging.

Anthony.

It still won't connect to my main BOINC client unless the client is already running. So it also doesn't start it (while the option is on in preferences).

10 November 2011 - 16:29:43 Connect, init ---- Host: localhost, Windows-7-PC,Port: 31416, connection error

And the program still hangs when I want to exit it. I have to kill it in TaskManager.

Anthony.

I don't pay the power bill, and I'm 'legally job incapable' so I have a low income. I just bought the GTX-550Ti a month ago just for crunching. The 8600GT still can crunch a mini-collatz in ~2hours. All my Collatz credits from last month are from that card. And I'm planning to buy/build a new computer with Intel iCore i7-2600K, Gigabyte Z68XP-UD5 (3x PCI-Express for videocards) motherboard etc., so I can buy new videocards later on.

My current system is a ASUS P5K-E Wifi-App motherboard with Intel C2D E6750 2666,66 MHz running at 3400 MHZ (8*425MHz) with DDR2-1066 MHz (running at 1064 MHz) with the 2 videocards mentioned (and a RAID config, TV cards).

Anthony.

I've had v1.16 working again, but I couldn't turn on 'start Boinc client at start' or 'stop Boinc client on exit'. With the first it wouldn't really startup again (no window, no trayicon, but running according to Taskmanager) and with the latter it would hang on exit and I had to kill it in Taskmanager. I had v1.25 running too, but it had the same problems besides the connection problems that I have with that version and v1.27. So the exit problem with v1.27 might have to do with 'stop boinc client on exit'.

I got them both running again because I deleted the BoincTasks registry key. But I've uninstalled them and got back to running v1.09 as this version at  least works although I noticed that I don't have the option 'stop Boinc client on exit'.

That I can't use my LAN IP (169.254.0.1) or Wireless IP (192.168.1.x) is probably because of the Boinc client. I tested in BoincManager and there I can't use my LAN IP either. I've tried the option <allow_remote_gui_rpc>1</allow_remote_gui_rpc> in 'cc_config.xml' but that gave problems too.

So I don't know anymore how to solve those connection problems in v1.25 & v1.27 if 2 localhost entries aren't allowed.

Anthony.
