Windows 7 RC1 & Seti set up?

[Wiz]

I've put Win7 64 bit on my laptop and downloaded boinc (64 bit) and signed in with Seti.
It's running nothing but AP - can't seem to get any seti WU.
What am I missing?
What can I do to get this thing running at top speed with seti?

Your question indicates that the settings of your seti-account allow the AP-WUs.

Just a few ideas, probably very noobish :
Does Win 7 allow any processes to run or do you have to run them as an administrator?
Is the AP-scientific application a 64-bit program or a 32-bit? And can a 32-bit program run under Win 7 64-bit without setting/changing any settings?
Can you run BOINC, seti and AP-WUs successfully in XP-compatibility mode?

Let me re-phrase...

I have BOINC running and attached to seti.
It is running AP units now, and pretty much 100% processor usage.
I want it to only run seti units.

Yes, I downloaded the 64 bit version of BOINC.

I don't know why I've only got AP units when I've got my settings for seti units only on my account. My other machines crunch seti units only.

Ok - I searched for boinc optimized seti and got what I needed.
Wow - seti is really humming along on this thing now - 50% done on two WU's in 11 minutes!!!

Averaging just a bit over 10 minutes to complete a wu now.
When this machine was running Vista it took about an hour per.

Don't know anything about win7...

But as far as Astropulse goes, there's only 32-bit applications available, even the optimized is only 32-bit for windows. For SETI_Enhanced there's also optimized 64-bit applications available. For both running optimized applications gives a big boost in speed, and is definitely the way to go.

With optimized applicatins, BOINC will only get work for whatever optimized applications you've got installed. For non-optimized, you'll get based on your preferences. Reasons to getting Astropulse even think this isn't selected can be, each Venue has separate settings and it's possible a computer is using a different venue than the other computers. Or, you've checked "if no work available, send work for other applications".

If you're running optimized applications, it's actually an advantage to run Astropulse, since it's "paying" more credit/hours than SETI_Enhanced does. But, being for a laptop that likely is on the road and often off and so on, only running SETI_Enhanced is still likely the best.

Yes, thats what I wanted and what I've got now.
Thanks for the explanation RD.
