Your well-spirited reply is much appreciated.  :^)

I apologize to anyone offended by one of my previous postings in this thead
that was, well, very blunt.   It was a knee-jerk reaction to what I
considered a knee-jerk reply.  Such a reaction is normally out of my
character.

I just don't. Boinc software is a piece of shit, at least here.
Tonight again I cud simply reboot the machine again, coz the whole
system froze up once more. That's not what I'm used to and it
definately isn't what I want. And yes, I'm talking about Boinc 4.45,
I've been running 4.13 for several months without big probs. Remember,
I gotta run Boinc 4.45 in order to run Seti. I will at max. try it out
for another month, if things haven't improved by then, I still leave
this ship. Seti now needs Boinc and if I got the picture right, Boinc
is messing up big, here at least. Tell me what U want, Seti might have
its own probs. OK. I cud handle the 2001 big outage. But this is diff
stuff.

First you DO NOT have to run 4.45 to run Boinc. I run 4.19 on one
machine just fine! Thereason they made people upgrade from versions
earlier than 4.19 is because they would not act right after an outage.
I run Boinc on 17 different computers. From Windows Me to 2000 to XP
both Home and Pro! Boinc is NOT the problem!!!!
If you cannot make Boinc run right on your computer just go back to
Classic, you did crunch it right? Use your old account info, no new
accounts are allowed, and you can crunch just fine until they shut it
down.
