seti driver question

[dxkj]

I just started up setidriver on two of my machines after giving one a new processor and one a new stick of ram. Neither of them show process amount, or when the approximate finish time is. They are both still active taking up 99% of the cpu though, so does anyone know if they will go back to normal once they finish this WU?


Thanks,
Bryan

Do you have "use SETI Driver" checked in the Progress Monitoring Section? If not, then do so!

 

[dxkj]

yeah i do

ok the one computer did end up submitting one but now it is yellow in the task bar instead of blue... what does THAT mean



it says
current cache size 20
processing 1
waiting to process 18
need to fill 1

and setiathomeXXXXXXXXXXX is taking up 99% of the cpu so i know its processing something

Sorry for the "dumb" question but - is "Auto Transmit" checked?
Is the internet connection to both machines verified?

 

[dxkj]

Yes to both.

I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago, It was so annoying I thought I was going to die! I tried everything but in the end only a reformat would fix the problem.

hrm working fine now


I hit transmit

I exited and restarted it


note: i did these things like 20 times earlier


but now its magically working that smokeball told me to do it


and omg, a reformat? why?

 

[Spacehead]

Smokeball does have "the touch", doesn't he?

I tryed everything, I completely deleted my S@H folder, reinstalled it (about 10 times). SetiDriver just sat there at 0.00% and didn't display the est. times. All I could figure is that a required .dll file was corrupt or something. It was a new rig and I didnt have too much installed so it wasnt too painful.

just noticed 999th post!

Did you reset your "time" after your processor or Ram install? If you start a WU and then change your clock (real time) radically, your SETI driver won't display the correct progress on the current WU running.
