Thanks - It is only the one page that is the wrong size- If I change any settings
will i be able to only change the one page.
Still trying to work out how to copy paste event log to here

Partial success!!
Managed after several deletes of BOINC and WCG plus reinstalls.

The page in BOINC Preferences is now the right size and can see the OK button. Now got the problem that even though I set parameters to exactly the same as this PC nothing is d/loading and can see that in BOINC Manager Event Log message is that- max disk usage: 0.00GB- even though in Preferences it is 10GB

Tried to copy/paste but nothing came up in Tomboy. Cannot find -Clipboard- in Symantic library. Is there any point in opening both PCs and typing lines you require to this forum?

Understand you must be frustrated but the FX6300 is brand new, only arrived this pm . Very different to the old FX6100 I had before [now very dead]

Thanks for yr help so far,but thinking of finding a non BOINC project.

Can't understand why Copy All button in event view and Ctrl+V (paste) in your web browser would not work on your Debian as they are practically universal keys. They work for me on any Windows, they work on my Ubuntu.

Anyway, here's a sample into which you can edit your values off the display:

The BOINC data dir also contains a file called stdoudae.txt which contains a copy of the event log history. Maybe you can upload it to dropbox or similar, post the link and we can view the file instead.

ALSO, open the global_prefs_override.xml file in a text editor, copy and paste it into a reply. That will tell us the prevailing settings. IF, though the clear button was successfully operated, the file should not exist in the BOINC data directory. The copy / paste the content of Global_prefs.xml or upload it too to dropbox / similar service.
