am now facing a problem with BOINC which I had never seen in seven
years of crunching.

My BOINC was installed on drive F:, but it failed, and now I do not
have a drive F: I disinstalled BOINC and tried to install it again.
When I try to change drive F: to, say, E:, the installer gives an
error message 1313 and shuts down, not allowing the reinstall.

What should I do to solve this problem? Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards from Brazil,
Valter Aguiar.

I have managed to install BOINC version 5. It is now running, but not using my CUDA drive. It is also using only one CPU out of my dual core, I don't know why.

I had tried before to delete all files named "boinc" on my hard drives, with no results.

After I installed version 5, I tried to upgrade it to version 6, with the same results as before. By the way, drive F is now my CD-ROM drive. I inserted a CD, so that the installer could find an F drive, and tried to install version 6. I could then change the data drive to E, but the installer ends by informing that, even so, drive F has no space, and exits.

Can anyone help, please? Thanks.
Valter.

This is a known problem - you can read the various reports in trac ticket [trac]#815[/trac], with several possible workrounds.

My workround was to use the a registry editor to change all references to the failed drive (F: in your case) in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Space Sciences Laboratory, U.C. Berkeley\BOINC Setup

and replace them with references to E:, or any known working drive (don't use your DVD drive letter!)

You'll probably find that your experiment with BOINC v5 has fixed INSTALLDIR, but that you still need to edit DATADIR, and possibly MIGRATIONDIR, manually.

Running Einstein@Home. The screen will go blank but the monitor is not turned off. Using Vista Business w/NVIDIA controller. Can't be sure but I think it started after upgrading the NVIDIA driver. Other screensavers work correctly

Right click Windows desktop->Personalize->Screen Saver->BOINC->Settings.
What's the value of the first slider (blank screensaver after)? Set it to Never.
