adding a pc

[peahouse05]

Hello All,
Hoping to run BOINC on my daughter's laptop at night (Toshiba Satellte A4, P4, 2.8GHz, 1GB RAM, 30GB HDD running XPSP2). Have my PC crunching - how can I add the second machine?
Have Googled this and tried WCG and BOINC searches but still not sure. Can anyone please help?
Thanks in advance,

Just install the BOINC client onto laptop m8

I think it then asks which teams you would like to crunch for just add us

Cant remember exactly what to do, I know it aint hard tho

If you install the latest version of BOINC (5.4.9) (Get it from here) then just install as usual and enter your user name and password when prompted and it will just add that pc to you account.

I knew it was easy


Just a point to make V.

When I tryed to installed the new version. it wouldnt let me. Told me a .DLL was missing or summat and could not resume installation. That was early last week not tryed again since. Just deleted it off desktop

 

[V_R]

Now i read about someone having a silmiler prob to that elsewhere......Dont s'pose you can remember the '.DLL or summat' that it was can you?

 

[TriplexDread]

Nver kept a note. I'll get it again and try it

Maybe I had Boinc running in background stopping it? I dunno, i'm sure I turned it off

BRB

Ok just tryed it again and it installed np's

LOL oh well

 

[V_R]

LOL, typical! Oh well now its all sorted all you need is the tweak.

 

[TriplexDread]

Tweak?....erm! remind me mate

Just here This is for the Athlon 64 right?

Download and extract the contents straight into your BOINC folder, (Default being C:\Program file\BOINC\)

Say yes to any overwriting of files, and you should be done.

Download from here. post #61.

[V_R]

No worries, just run the Benchmark before ya go!

EDIT: after your edit: bugger, i aint sober enough to troubleshoot right now. Can we do tis tomorrow!?

LIBEAY32.DLL was not found

 

[V_R]

Does this help?

[TriplexDread]

LOL yeah fine m8. However another popped up libcurl.dll

Anyway installed that too cheers for link

 

[V_R]

Ah, yep Libcurl.dll is dead important, you will see it mentioned in the 'messages' tab in BOINC manager when BOINC first starts.

 

[TriplexDread]

Yeah just noticed that m8
