Note that the installer if re-run brings up not only an "uninstall" option but also a "repair", which may have fixed the issue too. From a support perspective, everyone on 6.10.58 is most convenient and it does certainly on windows need not take more than 1 minute (including the automatic stopping and restarting of the client).

Finally managed to hook 4 Beta WU's on 3 different PC's, none concurrent and, so far, 2 Valids, 1 PV and one still crunching and all without a hitch - would like a few more WU's, please!!

It's great to see betas are flowing. Wish I could get some. I gather it's a luck of the draw thing as to if you get one? I have beta ticked on my windows profile. Is that all I have to do? Thanks in advance.

Hi Speedy51, yes, a lot (an awful lot) is down to luck.
----------------------------------------Basically, if your computer is asking for work at the time Beta WU's are available, then your computer should get 1 (or more - up to the limit of number of cores). Obviously, the more cores you've got, the higher your chances are. Also, keeping an eye on announcements/the forum's will help - as that'll give you an idea as to when to look out for them (allowing you to select an "intermittent" project/one with no WU's available at that time), and increase your cache by (say) 0.25/0.50, which should then force your BOINC mgr to go and fetch more (hopefully Beta) WU's.  |

Thanks in advance. Just select Intermittent Project only. Since none intermitten WUs are availalbe, BETA WUs will then be only units you receive.   |

The strategy that worked for me was to stop caring. After I hit silver, I haven't put any effort into trying to snag Beta WUs. With this last batch, I hit 15 on three computers. After that, I got another 3 repair units.
----------------------------------------Without even trying, I've made half the headway to gold in less than 2 months. It took me over four years to get the silver. So yes, it's mostly luck.
