Hi Geoff
Is there an 'uninstall', within this boinc program?....

Hi Martin....

I am running windows98, and a pentium 100.. sorry my computer is so slow
by
today standards...
I had the little window near the time clock openned up and when to close
it
by clicking on exit.. killed the program... grrrrr.....more
frustration...

If I am having this much trouble why aren't the authors more aware of
the
problem.. I can't be the only one...

My knowledge of what is going on is so limited, I can't really help you
help
me...

Larry

paste the stuff from the messages tab

you really need a newer pc you know.....
it should work, just very slowly, work units have a time limit they need
to
be done by, i think it's 2 weeks from when they are downloaded, unless you
leave the pc on 24/7 it might not be able to do them in time

(also note the boinc systemrecords the useage patterns and gives you more
or
less work units, at least i think it does, patterns being how long your pc
is on for, how long seti is running etc, recorded as % of time, like: pc
is
on 99.9% of the time, or 60%, see your account on website for details)
