Questions / Re: Crashing

From the error message, the problem seems to be in the KERNELBASE.dll.

You find the info here:

It will take a while before I'm able to look into it.

But Windows 11 at least still has many bugs, that let things crash....

It's only doing it when playing a game through Bluestacks Android emulator.  Must be something to do with it grabbing the GPU?  I diable Boinc and Folding when running the game.  But Boinctasks is showing the other computers running.

Event viewer shows:

Wish List / Re: BOINC's project list often...

Really strange problem over at Rosetta.  The normal way to add the project fails to get data unless the following is added to hosts at
c:\windows\system32\etc\hosts

128.95.160.156 boinc-files.bakerlab.org
128.95.160.156 bwsrv1.bakerlab.org

So not even all_projects_list.xml is sufficient to make that project work.

At least I did not have to detach / re-attach to fix the problem.

If running windows then check the event viewer. I am running 1.94 with 10 systems and silent restart disabled.  The only problem I have seen is when I accidentally select "All Computers" when I have messages or history on the display.  If I am fast enough I can select a PC else I either wait it out (takes to long) or try to close the app and restart it.

Possibly you have some setting contributing to the problem or I am not using some feature that you are having a problem with.

Questions / Crashing

Boinctasks occasionally crashes and silently restarts, no big deal, but recently it's doing it every few minutes, and when it restarts, Windows stupidly puts it in focus, so it interrupts what I'm typing.  It might be only when I'm playing Dust Lands on the Bluestacks android emulator.  How do I go about troubleshooting this?

According to what I read, the file name should work, like FahCore_a7.exe

Thanks, I see you use Folding too.  It's what I needed it for!

Likely here, since I've cobbled together loads of old monitors (5).  Combinations of VGA, DVI, HDMI, DP, and even USB,  with many adapters!  Just ordered a new graphics card with 6 outputs, so I don't have to use USB which is very flaky.  The adapters burn out every 6 months!

So I'd have to add the full location, since the other options are referring to this computer, not the remote one?
