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.

George, I read ya. But when I upgraded, I got a pointer set at Boinc
4.45 and I expect it to run decently. Not to try it first and
downgrade again because of....
I stick with my statement: I want to run Seti. It shud be running
through Boinc. If Boinc messes up, it's simply the end of things.
The days I was willing to keep on going trying everything to keep my
puters going have long gone. They're here for me to do things the way
I wanna. I have learnt to take Bill Gates bullshit for granted. If
Berkeley goes the same way ( U buy my shit, or buy a better puter) I'm
out.

It has always been and will always be a volunteer supported program,
if you choose not to continue to volunteer your computers in the
search, for whatever reason, then thankyou for your past support and
have a nice future.
