OK, it won't run. It claims my computer doesn't have java, but it does. I even went back and grabed the lattest version again from the java download page, re-installed, and it's just erroring the work units.

Only possible things I can think of is if it needs the lattest BOINC manager, mine's 6.12.15 and is the x64 version (well it's a 64 bit CPU and Windows 7 Pro 64 bit version OS)

- Java is the 64-bit download of it, perhaps the software is 32-bit and doesn't like that

- The path does, as it suggests, needs to be set manually in BOINC, though where, hmm

As to getting the newer version of the BOINC client, the BOINC sites at Berkeley seem to be timing out, and were yesterday also; so the official download site from the SETI/BOINC crew, has been offline for awhile now. Wonder if Berkely college is having more network troubles or something....

The Boinc Server issue is a known issue:

IIRC, you need to install the 32-bit JRE. You can have both 32 and 64-bit JRE's on your 64 bit system.

Running the 32 bit version of java here and the project does well so go ahead and try it as Gem suggested. If that doesn't work then try updating boinc client. Check your messages in the client and see what sort of error it is throwing if the problem persists

OK, it's running now. Actually i think I had both javas present on an earlier version of Windows, but installed Windows 7 earlier this year (or maybe it was last year now), and installed pretty much what I need.

I have tended to try to avoid 32-bit software where possible though; largely due to this lil memory issue, I remember having read about sometime back, though not finding an article on it now. It basically involved running 32-bit software on Windows 7 64, and a very slow memory leak which would occur over time; with the suggestion "remoot more often" (well on a laptop probably not an issue), or use 64-bit software where you can. This laptop (which could use some upgrading rather badly) can get tight with 2 GB (though on a duel core CPU, so yeah with BOINC it's the project x2), and having no dedicated video RAM (so has to share it with graphics)....

Question about Muon while running the command prompt thing. What do i look at to know when a WU is close to being done so it can be uploaded? there are several different numbers that move and not sure what I should be watching for

Been on dDM for a short while and Java has screwed up.

All results are bugging out Sad

Its also affecting other programs that I run on my puter. E.g games and stuff.

Uninstalled Java and re-installed to no effect. Any suggestions please

Alright, got it all set. So when it does finally return results it will go to the right place.

Yes every 10-30 seconds if I am running a game it bugs out and requests to send an error report. The error report lists 2 files it wants to send in the report. There is no specific error code though.

Its been driving me nuts for weeks now.

Either I run BOINC and Java with no games or other programs, or I run other programs and games with no Java and limited BOINC.

Just don't know what to do since the latest release of Java 6. ??????

Currently uninstalled Java so I can at least play Diablo II Smile

OH and Assassin's Creed II Very Happy

I had one work unit I had to abandon when I woke up. It got itself stuck between 99.5xx% and 99.741%, and would just keep going back to the earlier % mark then progress forward. While asleep, that WU had been running in that stuck state for like 3 hours. All the other WUs complete in about 1/2 hour, of that given type, and don't keep processing the same .2% again and again, for hours on end, without hitting completion.

Bad WU, I'm gathering....
