You know, nothing can ever just go nice and smooth.

Just got home from work and found the 3rd pc shut down. My little nephew was over and apparently he was drawn to the power button's little blue led, and needless to say it was pushed! Little bugger!

Today could have been a good day for me but no.....

Hey when I was a kid I touched the pretty red light- unfortunately it was in a car's cigarette lighter :twitch:

File that under s**t happens!

On another matter....
Went back to edit the cc_config to report results immediately in the 2600k rig and it worked this time :toast:

That's what I need to do: setup the power button to give a little shock and/or burn!

I tried to get my main rig to report immediately and it hasn't worked, not sure what I did wrong. There was a cc_config file already with lots of stuff in it, so I threw in the little line of code that I thought was supposed to work.... yet it hasn't.

Post a copy of the contents of your cc_config please.

Also, are you shutting down the manager to make the changes?

Irony · Feb 18, 2014

Do you mean fold or crunch? We have had others crunch for someone else but I am not sure how...
I'm sure our Captain does though

manofthem · Feb 18, 2014

For crunching, wouldn't it be just logging into boinc with someone else's credentials and let it crunch?
(like when you first load up boinc, you need to log in so yo would do that with someone else's info, and then the wu's would be under their name?)

And F@H guys, don't forget to get a piece of the game giveaway action

mx500torid · Feb 18, 2014

oops yep crunch is what I meant old habits. I tried deleting the program and logged into his account and loaded it back in and it started in my account everything i tried it was the same thing.

You must finish your current WUs, report, detach from project, then uninstall BOINC AND delete the C:\ProgramData\BOINC folder (it's a hidden folder, enable hidden folders in Folder Options). Install BOINC again.

Don't forget to set "Do not ask for new tasks" on the projects tab or else you'll always have more WUs to run.

All you have to do is remove the project, then add WCG using his credentials.

What I hate about forums is that info like this post gets lost over time. If you're not at the right place at the right time you will miss it. And God help you if you try to find it latter. @Norton , I nominate this post to a new thread that has limited access and has the best of the best ideas and info. A super FAQ.
