1) Questions and Answers : Windows : "No work available to Process" in BOINC (Message 34839) Posted 1 Apr 2018 by Craig Post: Thanks to all who helped. I think I've got it working on both laptops now. Issue was that that the virtual doo-da was disabled in BIOS. Enabled and re-installed the software on both and now seems fine. Thank you! Craig.
2) Questions and Answers : Windows : "No work available to Process" in BOINC (Message 34828) Posted 31 Mar 2018 by Craig Post: Hi, I just started using BOINC a few days ago (vers. 7.8.3 (x64)). I have two laptops, both running Win 10. On the first one, I initially thought everything was working fine. However, yesterday I tried installing BOINC on the second laptop. Again everything seemed to install without error. I logged in using the same account details as the first. But after connecting with the same project (LHC@home) BOINC only ever shows "No work available to process". I looked at the event log, and it doesn't show anything unusual - no errors. I looked at my project task list. The first laptop is the only one that appears to have completed work successfully. The second laptop shows a list of tasks, but all display the comment "Error while computing". I have tried uninstalling using the Windows control panel, but clearly a full uninstall is not being completed, leaving some residual files somewhere, because when I reinstall, it automatically completes the login with my previous details and preferences. And I get the same issues. I posted this info on the BOINC message board and one of the members pointed out that although my first laptop was running tasks, they were all SixTrack tasks. I checked the VirtualBox for both and found that both are displaying repeated errors like the one below. Runtime error opening 'C:\ProgramData\BOINC\slots\0\boinc_26c29e8c79bd585e\boinc_26c29e8c79bd585e.vbox' for reading: -103 (Path not found.). F:\tinderbox\win-5.2\src\VBox\Main\src-server\MachineImpl.cpp[741] (long __cdecl Machine::i_registeredInit(void)). Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005) Component: MachineWrap Interface: IMachine {85cd948e-a71f-4289-281e-0ca7ad48cd89} Both laptops are HP with i7 processors running Win 10. Any ideas? Thanks, Craig.
