2) Message boards : Number crunching : can't get tasks for my Win7 machine as it says (Message 1714) Posted 1 Nov 2022 by Groo Post: My Win7 machine had problems in August of 2022. Couldn't make contact with the server. Worked fine before it didn't. I messed around with different ideas and nothing made it work. I had the idea of removing RakeSearch from Boinc with the idea of re-installing the connection. This was a bad idea. Since then I have had the error " Failed to install..." in Boinc. So it would seem the better idea is to leave RakeSearch in the Boinc list and crunch other projects until the admins decide they want to fix the connections with the Win7 users.
3) Questions and Answers : Windows : Boinc 7.20.2 and Windows 7 (Message 1671) Posted 18 Aug 2022 by Groo Post: Since the start of August (2022) my Windows 7 machine has had trouble contacting the server and getting tasks. After the upgrade to Boinc manager 7.20.2 it has not contacted the server no matter the number of tries in a day of time. After a week of regularly trying to contact the server I tried to reset the project. Nothing changed. Today I tried to remove and add RakeSearch and now I can't proceed because it fails to add the project. Has anyone experienced the same issue ? Are there possible ideas to fix the issue described?
