Hi Soren,

Even though you have your BOINC manager set to Run Always, be sure you have this setting in your General Preferences (in your account settings):

Do work while computer is in use? = YES

Yes, it's set like that.

Rebooted, now it's working right.

Looks like most of your results are showing the same file access error on your stderr out:

core_client_version>5.4.11</core_client_version>
<message>
CreateProcess() failed - The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. (0x20)
</message>

Yes I would report this on the "Report Problems With 5.34" thread.


I think I have seen this error when I have managed to get two copies of BOINC running together. This mistake is easier to make on Linux, but I have seen it on Windows.

One more thing - if you are looking in task manager for the BOINC cpu time, it should not increase a lot, as task manager shows time separately for BOINC (ie the core client) and for Rosetta. It should be one of the Rosetta threads that is taking up 99% or more of the cpu time, not a task called BOINC at all. On Linux the same is true of top and ps aux.

Don't know if either point helps - but wish you luck sorting it out.
