Hello
Few days ago I posted that E@H was doing any work on one of my computers.
Today I take a loke to folder "...\\BOINC\\projects\\einstein.phys.uwm.edu" and I cant find any .exe and .pdb files (executable files).
After that I dicided to detach and attach to project, result is E@H is working fine.
I think problem was produced when changing from key account to password.
My sugestion is to include to update procedure a check for correct install of all neaded files, executables or not.
This will prevent unwanted situations where project doesn't work as desidered.
Regards
Xavier

Hi Xavier,
As Bill Michael mentioned the other day, for us to offer suggestions we really need a lot more information about your setup. If you don't want to write out all the details here, at least unhide your computers so we can have a look for ourselves to see if we can work out what's going on. Without being able to see your setup and any error messages, all I can suggest is that somehow you have deleted those executables. I very much doubt that changing a password would have anything to do with it.
For your information, when installing a new version of BOINC, all needed files will be downloaded quite automatically if anything is missing. I suggest that your problem was caused by something else. What sort of filesystem do you have and what filesystem checks have you run lately?
Cheers,
Gary.
