FAQ / app_config.xml editor
June 07, 2018, 10:01:11 AM
As of V 1.77 BoincTasks includes an app_config.xml editor, that should work with BOINC 7.10.2.

More info here https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Client_configuration

To use select the Project Tab -> select a project -> Menu Extra Edit config file (app_config.xml)

The test entry:


<app_config>
       <app>
           <name>setiathome_v8</name>
           <max_concurrent>1</max_concurrent>
           <gpu_versions>
               <gpu_usage>.5</gpu_usage>
               <cpu_usage>.4</cpu_usage>
           </gpu_versions>
           <fraction_done_exact>0</fraction_done_exact>
           <report_results_immediately>0</report_results_immediately>
       </app>
       <app_version>
           <app_name>setiathome_v8</app_name>
           <plan_class></plan_class>
           <cmdline>--nthreads 7</cmdline>
           <avg_ncpus>0.000000</avg_ncpus>
           <ngpus>4.000000</ngpus>
       </app_version>
       <project_max_concurrent>0</project_max_concurrent>
       <report_results_immediately>0</report_results_immediately>
   </app_config>

**NOTE:
The BOINC client changes:
      <gpu_versions>
          <gpu_usage>.5</gpu_usage>
          <cpu_usage>.4</cpu_usage>
      </gpu_versions>
into:
      <gpu_gpu_usage>0.500000</gpu_gpu_usage>
      <gpu_cpu_usage>0.400000</gpu_cpu_usage>

Both are valid.

FAQ / TThrottle won't start automatically at login
October 29, 2016, 04:39:35 PM
Try this:
In TThrottle go to Preference and remove the check at "Run TThrottle as login"
TThrottle can't make any changes unless it runs as administrator, so it will restart as user administrator.
Now you have to select Yes to allow it to start as administrator or enter an administrator name and password.

Next set the check ar "Run TThrottle as login"

Now TThrottle  should start as soon as you log in.

FAQ / Windows XP
July 28, 2014, 12:25:01 PM
TThrottle V 7.30 is the last XP version.

If you installed a later version, you need to go back to 7.30.

Go to "control panel" and select programs. Find TThrottle and  select Uninstall.
Got to C:\Program Files\eFMer\TThrottle and remove all files. You many want to make a copy of the folder first.

Now install V 7.30 http://efmer.com/b/tthrottle_download_release

Add: When checking "start at login" elevate to administrator if the current user has insufficient rights to change the setting.
Add: Detect if windows are off screen.
Change: If administrator only access is set, ask for administrator name and password to open/exit TThrottle.
Change: Always show the exit menu after 1 minute.

New text:

<GroupDialogPreference>
<Elevate>      You need administrator rights to change this settings.\r\nYou will be asked to grant adminstrator rights.\r\nThrottle will restart with adminstrator rights, this will allow changing this setting.
</GroupDialogPreference>

<GroupToolbar>
   <Administrator>         You need to login as administrator.   </>   
</GroupToolbar>

FAQ / Temperature Window is missing
March 04, 2014, 10:13:44 PM
1) Go to the Preference tab and make sure "Show temperature window" is checked.
2) If it's checked remove the check and check it again, make sure the check is set.

If that doesn't work:

A) Exit TThrottle
B) Start Regedit (Search regedit)
C) Go here: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\eFMer\TThrottle\floatingdlg
Or here HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\eFMer\TThrottle64 when you have a 64 bit system.

Remove the whole folder floatingdlg.

Start TThrottle again.

FAQ / Administrator access only.
February 02, 2014, 01:59:09 AM
Kill the TThrottle.exe running with Tasks Manager.

Next click on the Throttle program with you right mouse key.
This should give you the option "Run as Administrator".

That's not exactly the same as running as administrator.

Go to Preferences and remove the check "Allow TThrottle to be opened as administrator only".

Exit TTrottle and start it again.
