As for credit calibration, if you are having trouble getting truXoft running on your computers I suggest you take Paul Yates & Kirsty Miles advice and wait the few weeks until the S5 data run begins. Your credit claims will be low, but with the decrease in crunching times your RAC should not drop.
Hope this helps, Dave
There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers. - Richard Feynman
Thanks, Dave. I'll try that a little later when I return home.
I'm sure the 500mhz is going to tell me it's 'not a zip file' again but we'll see. If you've got an idea about why it's doing that let me know.
hi rob
are you opening it??
or saving it to your pc ???
i just followed the link dave gave you and it looks ok
should say
name: alb_c41.??.zip
type: compressed (zipped)folder,???kb
from:eclient.tvn.hu
try clicking open as opposed to save
should then take you a extraction page
If you are downloading the zip on a dial-up then the file may just be corrupt. I've had this trouble in the past. You just need to try downloading it again and see if that was the problem. I've just downloaded it and the zip is perfectly OK.
File sizes for alb_C4102.zip:
Find the file in Explorer, right click the file, click properties:
size 414016 bytes
size on disk 425984 bytes
There is the outside chance that your Winzip installation is bad. To test it you just need to find any other zip file and see if Winzip will open it. If Winzip won't open any zip files then that may be the problem.
I use 7-zip for my archiving purposes and I think it works better than Winzip or PKWare/PKzip.
I just thought of this - if you are using a download manager/accelerator you may be downloading the referral file rather than the zip file itself. To fix that you'll need to temporarily disable the download manager or otherwise bypass it.
You can try this - right click the link to the zip file (in this thread) and on the menu that comes up click 'save target as...' - you don't need to change the name, you may be able to bypass the download manager that way but this method often doesn't work.
Just killing the download manager (using task manager) often doesn't work either because your browser will just start up another instance of it.
Henry; You are now a candidate for the "Curse of 32". Won't you be happy when you get a load of the 1 hour work units that crunch in 15 minutes. The server thinks you are working on your cache quota, wait till you run dry and get stiffed for new work.

Tweakster, you can always attach to another project as a backup. Keep theresource share for E@H high and the other real low and it should only run if you raun our of E@H work.

I don't know what's wrong. I've deleted the alb_41 file and when I try to d/l it again it takes zero time. It acts like I haven't deleted it so have no idea what to do. I've tried winzip and powerdesk.

have you emptyd the recycle bin? have you cleard tmp files? and, have you restarted the pc, before trying to download it again? its possible the download tmp file is still there and associated with the download link..
seeing without seeing is something the blind learn to do, and seeing beyond vision can be a gift.
Thank you, Paul, Burbank, and all the rest of you that have put up with what have seemed like stupid questions from me to get this fixed. I have no clear idea of how I finally got it working. I was zipping, unzipping, creating self extractors, deleting, redownloading (all of these things I have a reverse Midas touch for)......everything short of using voodoo dolls and magic spells but somehow I got it working on thes 500mhz.

Thanks again.

Alright, 3rd machine is now part of Einstein for the first time and optimized. Had zero problems with this one so this is the last you'll hear of questions from me unless I get my hands on more computers (which could be dangerous). :-)

Hi Robert, for the last few

Hi Robert, for the last few days I've been in beautiful Montréal, Québec for my sisters graduation so I'm sorry about the late response. I'm glad to hear that you have gotten your A64 3000+ optimized, well done. As for your 500 mhz celeron try re-downloading C41.02 (I use it on my PII 450 mhz, so it should work fine on you setup), follow the same steps you used on your 3000+ to install this file. If you are still having trouble with winzip, use whatever method you used to unzip the optimized app on your 3000. The same goes for your 2.4 mhz rig, download S41.07 and extract the file to your E@H directory, by default it is C:\\Program Files\\BOINC\\projects\\einstein.phys.uwm.edu\\, just remember to exit all BOINC programs first.
