Use BoincView
http://www.boinc.dk/index.php?page=mirror_file_list
it is on the list. It works MUCH better for managing a "farm" or
"ranch" or even just a "garden"

I did play with BoincView a little bit.  It does seem to be a great

program

and it had no trouble talking with everything on the net, but I couldn't

get

the column/row text to display properly.  Tried all variations of fonts.
Couldn't figure out if it wasn't "pulling" the data right, or something
weird going on with CR/LF's, but since it won't display properly it is
pretty much worthless..

Data in the columns comes across as partially readble, but with a lot of
||||||||'s and garbage.  seti@home|||||||||z3rez3||||||||||\3a||||||

It definetly is talking fine though.   The pie chart for disks shows up
correctly, commands are sent properly and recognized by remote computers,
ect.   Just the data in columns doesn't display right.   Searched the

Boinc

and Seti web forums to see if anyone else had that problem, but no luck.

Oh

well...

Cheers,
Eric

It works fine for me too. Are you using the newest drivers for your
video card?

Yep, all my drivers are the latest.  I have no problem with anything else
and do a lot of things graphics intensive from running Microsoft Flight
Simulator 2004, to video DVD creation, to even trying my hand at video
rendering every now and then...

I just played with BoincView again, capturing packets with Ethereal while it
ran.  Looking into the packets, the data coming across looks great but for
some unknown reason, BoincView isn't formating it correctly.  (shrug)

Thanks!
