No Disk space; E@H is just sitting idle.

Hi EllCee,

I had a quick look at your results list and you have been busy haven't you? :). You've been doing very well!! Unfortunately, available disk space does tend to get eaten up over time so you have obviously triggered a limit which should be fairly easy to fix.

First of all you will need to tell us the physical size of your disk and if you have multiple partitions or not. If you only have a fairly small disk and you only have a single partition, all you probably need to do is a disk cleanup and get rid of the stuff in your trash and also any temporary files. You may also need to uninstall any old unused programs that you don't need. An easy way to do a cleanup is to click "My Computer" and right click your C: drive icon and select "properties" from the context menu which appears. On the properties sheet which appears you will see details of free and used space and a "Disk Cleanup" button you can use to guide you through the cleanup process. Try doing a cleanup and then report back the free and used sizes after you have finished. You can worry about uninstalling or shifting other stuff later.

There are actually no "Client errors" in your list of results so I don't think you need to worry just yet about the screensaver. For the moment until normal crunching resumes, just set your screensaver to blank the screen. We can try to get it going a little later. If we need to, we can point you towards the beta application which hopefully will solve any screensaver problems.

Once you have done a disk cleanup, you can check your preferences to do with disk space on the website. Here is a rough summary of what you can check right now:-

• * Use your browser to go

here. You may need to supply your login details if you haven't already saved them in your browser.
* When you get to your account page, click on "View or edit general preferences".
* You will see five items in a section called "Disk and Memory Usage".
* Make sure 1st is large, 2nd is small, 3rd is large, 4th is 60 secs, 5th is large. My five values are 10GB, 0.2GB, 75%, 60 secs, 75%.
* If you need or would like to change, then simply click the "Edit preferences" link. When you make changes make sure you "Update" at the bottom of the section.

After changing on the website, simply open up your BOINC Manager window on your machine, click the project name on the project tab and the greyed out "Update" button will become active. Just click it to have your local BOINC client read the new changes from the website. If you don't do the "Update", it will happen automatically when the local client contacts the project servers anyway, but for changes like this, I like to do them immediately.

Let us know how you get on.
