W7 x64, BOINC v6.10.32

It happen when uploads (to SAH) are stuck.

I have History turned on and when I deleted those csv's the app runs fine but logged in history are the pending uploads. In normal times uploads or ready to report are not listed on history.

Hope this helps.

Tasks are logged when they are in uploading or ready to report. Sometimes uploading is simply too short.
But after deleting the csv files you don't get any errors?

It's in the bottom of the main frame on the right.

Not to be contrary, but "bottom of the main frame" is actually the right-hand panel of the optional Status bar.  If that's deselected--no version number (except for pulling down Help/About...).  I join benDan in respectfully suggesting that putting the version following BoincTasks on the titlebar would be nice (if not too painful coding-wise)

Ok 2 requests, on the list.

Can you tell me a bit more.
What OS do you use. When does this error occur.

1) The ability to call up a Task property sheet similar to your Project property sheet (two very handy features of BOINCMgr).
2) The ability to snooze the remotes in addition to the localhost. (Maybe a rt-click context menu on the sidebar computer tree?) Possibly including a "Snooze All" option? 

Maybe that's actually three requests.  Best wishes

On the list.

First changes to "ŸÄÔG6ÁóK9E04Ó®âµá—€äCf
Ôå×Ej'TÓ1I%" and second to "_Ÿ·ÑiXgDô%›ÕþŽˆö,'Æ•S,4ÌiÒ©0.ééh†Þ" without the quotes. Although, copy/paste to this forum might have changed the encoding..

I Make a setting for non encrypted passwords, as BOINC gives the passwords in the clear  , it even doesn't make much sense to encrypt them anyway.

Strange, the 64 bit system is the more complicated one.
Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers and try deleting the cputemperature.sys, the driver.
Try the remove and install again.

OK, did that: no change in symptoms.

I also ran 'FC /b' on the driver I removed from C:\...System32\drivers\ against the one from the reinstall--identical (i.e., not corrupted)   And the fun continues; meanwhile, the PrimeGrid Year of the Tiger challenge is going well

But removing it may alert the virus scanner that something changed, as I suspect a problem there. Or the rights of the driver were not set correctly. A strange problem.
Good luck with the PrimeGrid challenge.

5. Sure, b72c2597114cae3257a3584186617769 and 69b5b81e5954e755fd9a4b98c576ff14 are the troublesome entries. Both are defaults generated automatically by BOINC Client.

Can you do the following, take b72c2597114cae3257a3584186617769 and 69b5b81e5954e755fd9a4b98c576ff14 and put it in the password field.
In BoincTasks select File -> Exit , start BoincTasks again and give me the 2 passwords that are in the password field.
Because on my computers I can't reproduce it. [/list][/list]

Just like Tthrottle and for the same reason.

It's in the bottom of the main frame on the right.

If there is no activity on a project for a few days the graphs for all the projects show different time frames.
Currently Einstein@home has had no work after the 7th but SETI@Home has work thru today. Einstein@home's graph runs from Jan 16 thru Feb 7 with a devider every 3 days. SETI@Home's graph runs from Jan 14 thru Feb 13 with a devider every 4 days. This is confusing to me (I'm a visual thinker) and does not show me at a glance that I have had no Einstein@home work for 6 days.

THis change would help me alot ... Thanks.

It's on the list.

Just to be sure I uninstalled/reinstalled Tthrottle on the affected machine. After reinstalling & starting Tthrottle I checked the device manager--cputemperature was not listed in the Non-Plug and Play Drivers.  I ran the InstallDriver tool twice as directed.  The uninstall option read as successful.  The install driver option failed with errorcode 126--ERROR: Driver not installed properly. (LoadDriver Dlg).

But Tthrottle is running, the OSD is correct, and BoincTasks is reading temps from the machine.  What am I missing?  My other machines show the cputemperature driver in device manager, but both are running Tthrottle64.

Strange, the 64 bit system is the more complicated one.
Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers and try deleting the cputemperature.sys, the driver.
Try the remove and install again.

1) The 700% is on the bug list.
2) I will try to detect non CPU projects that don't report this in the USE field better. But projects should report the CPU and GPU use properly.
5) Added to the bug list to test.
6) Maybe a project that is still initializing?
7) Added the BOINC version to the list.
Is on the list, but should be quite rare.

Well, it happened again, with similar circumstances, after running OK for ~2 days.  And again it took uninstall/reinstall to restore normal function.  (Note that the problem occurred while Tthrottle was already running, not on startup.)  Captured log data from the failure mode is as follows:

Since you mentioned the Registry, I'm guessing that the user settings (Preferences, Rules etc.) live there?  The settings certainly survive the uninstall.  If you send a list of the Tthrottle registry keys, I can try editing them out.  This wouldn't be my first dance with RegEdit.

Best wishes.

The driver is controlled by the Windows Installer.
It should load automatically at startup.
Try running the installer tool that's in the program folder. InstallDriver.exe
Click remove driver, exit the program and run it again and hit install driver.
Run this program as administrator both times.

Before you do so check: device manager
Set the option for show hidden devices, so you can see all non PNP drivers.

Non Plug and Play drivers.
CpuTemperature is the one you need.
Check the properties. Should be started as type system.
---------------------------------------------------------
Click Start, click Run, type sigverif, and then click OK.
Click on advanced and show log, cputemperature should be listed.
---------------------------------------------------------
Click Start, click Run, type verifier, OK
Default setting, Select drivers from a list (last one)  and check if cputemperature is in the list.

V 1.74

The update dialog stayed on forever and blocked the program. Now the dialog is up for 1 minute.
In some cases the automatic detection of some projects like ibercivis.es did not work. Additional checking added.
Restore the taskbar icon after a crash of explorer.exe.
Always show the graph after pressing the graph button. Sometimes it is hidden behind another window.

After several weeks running fine I noticed that BoincTasks stopped displaying core temps for one remote host.  Checking the local Tthrottle control panel showed that core temps were blank, & the OSD read 0.  Restarting Tthrottle had no effect, nor did rebooting the machine.  Removing & reinstalling Tthrottle restored normal function.

Tthrottle v1.73, running on Vista SP2 32bit.  The CPU is Intel T5450 Core2 Duo.

Hard to tell, what caused that problem. Blank temperatures may suggest a problem with the driver, something that went wrong with the registry, or a firewall thing. But installing did resolve the problem so...
Next time, if this should ever happen again, check the log for the driver entry. Should report the driver version. In that case send me the log and I check it.

Is it possible to get the combine filter to not group seti@home & seti@home beta tasks together?  Or are we stuck as long as both projects are using the same application & rev. number?

Done for the next release.
