Marcelle, have you checked that BOINC and UD are not being blocked by the Windows Firewall? You could try disabling it to see if that makes a difference. However, make sure that you have either Windows Firewall or a third-party firewall active before you leave the box active active on a permanent internet connection...

giddie,
Good thought... yes, I have. Windows firewall was off thanks to Norton but just incase I manually shut them both down for 30min with no luck. I'm hoping to take another shot at it Thursday. I'm busy all day tomorrow. We'll see. |

Dave,
You're amazing! I fired up the PC that had been giving me problems and the UD agent linked up perfectly and started downloading a work unit. Thanks for your help. Now we have yet another PC working for us all. Marcelle |

Hi Marcelle
----------------------------------------I can't take the credit  Lawrence was on it like a shot. I discovered it as I've been doing that "fixing a PC thing" which us PC types always get involved in at Church and UD is still the easiest and prettiest cruncher to install.Must remember next time to not say when fixing a laptop "Don't worry I have a cable for that PSU at home"  All those crunching hours missed as a result  Dave |

Well then I guess a big "Thanks" goes out to Lawrence! Now if I can only just get UD to use more than 50% of the CPU when we're sitting idle. I noticed during the "BOINC blackout of late 2006"
---------------------------------------- , when I switched a few of my PCs over to UD that all of them ran at a max of 50%. I know it's been a while since I've looked at either of my 2 UD machines but I'm sure back in the "pre-BOINC age" all my UD machines were hitting 100% except when on an HT PC?Oh well, at least it's running something!  Hope you had a good lunch Dave. It just passed my breakfast time and I'm alreay ready for a nap.  Marcelle [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Jan 4, 2007 1:08:20 PM] |

Marcelle:
----------------------------------------WCG has throttled the CPU usage back by default on new installations. There was a problem with laptop computers that were responding to 100% demand by throttling back the clock, thus actually slowing the computers down. See this thread for info, and the utility to set the CPU usage to 100% http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/viewTopic.do?shortName=cpuuse#230  |
