Only 3 of 8 computers have it in the list, the other 5 don't. Why would this be happening? Why would seti@home not show up in the add projects list for certain computers? In addition, two of the computers crash when I try adding a new project. The radio button is selected for Add project, upon pressing the "next" button BOINC disappears. ID: 46001 ·

I just saw my crystal orb make a detour away from me, it does not want to give me more information about your set ups, so please could you pass by at this thread and glean at what info we might need further?

Last modified: 25 Oct 2012, 4:00:20 UTC To re-phrase: I am trying to include the project seti@home on my computers. seti@home does not show up on all the computers "in the list" so I cannot choose it. It shows up in the "add project" list only on computers 1,2 and 4. Computers 1-8 have installed only the operating system, BOINC, Vue render cow and After Effects render engine. Nothing else. (I really don't know why any of this info is important except the BOINC version since this is a software issue, not hardware.) All the computers in question: BOINC Version: 7.0.28 (x64) Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, all with latest updates Computer specific: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- computer_name \| cores \| GHz \| processor \| GB \| GPU \| motherboard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RENDER01 \| 6 \| 3.258 \| AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Processor [Family 16 Model 10 Stepping 0]\| 12 \| NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 (1GB) \| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RENDER02 \| 4 \| 3.2 \| AMD Phenom II X4 955 Processor [Family 16 Model 4 Stepping 3] \| 16 \| ATI Radeon HD 4250 (256M) \| MS-7596 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RENDER03 \| 4 \| 3.0 \| AMD Athlon II X4 640 Processor [Family 16 Model 5 Stepping 3] \| 16 \| ATI Radeon HD 4250 (256M) \| MS-7596 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RENDER04 \| 4 \| 3.4 \| AMD Phenom II X4 965 Processor [Family 16 Model 4 Stepping 3] \| 14 \| ATI Radeon HD 4250 (256M) \| MS-7596 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RENDER05 \| 4 \| 3.010 \| AMD Athlon II X4 640 Processor [Family 16 Model 5 Stepping 3] \| 16 \| NVIDIA GeForce 210 (1 GB) \| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RENDER06 \| 8 \| 3.33 \| AMD FX-8120 X8 [Family 21 Model 1 Stepping 2] \| 32 \| NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti (1024MB)\| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RENDER07 \| 8 \| 3.1 \| AMD FX-8120 [Family 21 Model 1 Stepping 2] \| 16 \| NVIDIA GeForce 210 (1 GB) \| MS-7620 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RENDER08 \| 6 \| 3.8 \| AMD FX-6200 Six-Core Processor [Family 21 Model 1 Stepping 2] \| 16 \| \| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- mindsclay-64 \| 6 \| 3.2 \| AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Processor [Family 16 Model 10 Stepping 0]\| 16 \|NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti (1024MB) \| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ID: 46113 ·

These problems have been fixed, so any of your clients should by now have contacted the BOINC server and gotten a new list with all the right entries. I asked for your local setup, not necessarily complete details of your systems, so as to see if it was perhaps OS/permission related. Sorry I wasn't clear enough, all I needed was your BOINC version and OS. ID: 46131 ·
