Could someone please tell me how to reset the statistics graph in BOINC mgr.? I have some retired projects that are skewing it rather badly. v.6.10.43 Refering to all projects(sum) |

For each project, there is a statistics_*.xml file, with '*' denoting the project URL, in the BOINC data directory. Simply deleting (perhaps after backup:-) the offending files should cure the problem. Gruß, Gundolf Computer sind nicht alles im Leben. (Kleiner Scherz) |

Wish I had your skills and/or confidence! I am incredibly leery of messing with the data directory. It seems every time I attempt what I consider to be advanced tasks such as that, one false keystroke or some other simple error causes catastrophic damage that I find difficult if not impossible to repair. Perhaps it's time to screw up my courage and give it a go. When you refer to performing an initial backup, do you mean a windows system restore checkpoint or another method? Thanks for your help. I am a literal computer novice. 95% of what limited skills I do possess have come from running BOINC. |

When you refer to performing an initial backup, do you mean a windows system restore checkpoint or another method? I actually thought of copying the files to another directory before deleting them; a 'move' operation would do that in one step (drag&drop in windows explorer). However, it's never a bad idea to do a complete backup of your BOINC data directory - or your whole system, if you have enough (external) storage capacity. Gruß, Gundolf |

In the the Statistics Page of Boinc Manager, just click on the projects names (on the right hand sides of the page) you don't want displayed, clicking on them toggles select/de-select. JOIN Team ACC |
