Below are the latest massages concerning my project. It looks as if the problem is memory usage. I have it set at 100% so I don't understand why it says 95.26.

This is getting over my head. I had BOINC running on this machine before. i don't understand why it won't work now. Anyway, I do appreciate your help.

acpartman,

See a line suggesting a possible visit of the 5.10 test version?

You need to delete the global_prefs_override.xml to return sanity to BOINC. Else it wont be able to adopt the website profile settings. After, restart BOINC and make sure to either use Custom Settings or Maximum Performance on the Device Manager > Device Profile webpages to get full ram available.

cheers

Don't delete anything.

Go here: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ms/device/v...iguration.do?name=Default

and select "Custom", then set "Use no more than: x % of total memory" to 100%. It may say 100 already, but it is lying. Then go to the bottom and click "save".

Finally, you need to force the agent to use the new setting (it will pick it up eventually, so this step is optional). Open BOINC Manager, make sure you are using the advanced view, go to the project tab and select World Community Grid. Then click "Update". Go to the messages tab and watch BOINC get the new preferences.

I'm sorry this is so complicated.

I finally got BOINC installed on all my older machines. It's strange because it will run on some and not others. In fact 2 of them are P4's above 1.5ghz and niether BOINC or WCG will run on them. One tries but I keep getting a Page File Error on BOINC. Any suggestions?
