Hmmm.... I seem to remember that he played in a movie called "Grumpy Old Men"...
(I was hoping no one would remember that)  |

Did you identify the cause of the boot problem?
Put in a new WD hard drive - Windows wouldn't install because it seems the DVD drive has gone flaky, so i downloaded WIN7 w/ SP1 (there's a great article about this here): http://www.pcmech.com/article/can-you-downloa...you-have-a-legal-license/ and installed via a USB key Microsoft has a tool for making a USB key bootable here: http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/h....Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool everything is back to normal  |

Very interesting.
----------------------------------------Of course, when you speak of "normal" that has a special meaning when referring to Microsoft. The DVD drive is probably the cheapest component to replace but that is small consolation. I had some problems a while back with file corruption. I decided I would rather go to the dentist than do a Windows repair or clean install. So I went to the dentist but my computer was still broke. Doing repair and clean installs is not fun. And then there are the endless updates. Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some battle. Please join the team The survivors |

Picked up 9 Betas for CFSW.
----------------------------------------They can't be very big as the estimated time on an i7 is 00:33:23. But then an AMD Phenom X4 830 shows an estimated time of 06:40:16. Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some battle. Please join the team The survivors |

The actual CPU time on the CFSW Betas was
----------------------------------------0.65-0.68 hours on the i7 0.78 hours for the Phenom II X4 830. The estimated time for the AMD was off by about 6 hours. I have learned not to trust the BOINC Manager Remaining (Estimated) times because they are often inaccurate. Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some battle.

I got one on my i7, ran in .7 hours. I got 2 on my slow 2GHz Intel laptop, and they ran in around 1.3 hours. Don't even know what the estimates were because they came and went before I even noticed them.
