Glad to assist in anything that helps cancer research. It's got my computer working, like never before!!

installing now...

I'm sorry, but I'm out. This program caused way too many fatal crashes on my Windows 98 (SE), so I quit

you could try uninstalling the software and re installing it again, as over time it updates itself as new projects get released from what ive read on their fourms, the software is well made and shouldnt crash systems often.

omg, my cpu activity gets up in 100% when I start that Ud Device program! Why?

I have a AMD Athlon XP 2400+ 2,0 ghz

becasue when you arnt using the computer to do anything it uses up the spare cycles, say you where watching a dvd movie that required a fair bit of software to decompress the dvd then that would use up your cpu power and the ud agent will just sit and do noughthing untill the dvd is over then your cpu isnt working so it begines its calculations. ud agent is designed only to use you spare computing power and shoudnt affect you performance when you need to use the computer

but the UD Agent is using up all my cpu power even when i'm surfing the net etc. I had the program last summer and it worked fine back then

its ment to! it uses any cpu power your not using, and browsing the internet on fast moden computers only uses a small amout of cpu power, try putting a dvd on or play a mp3 and watch the mp3/dvd program hog some cpu power and watch udagent use the rest

I just joined the project and the TA Team...

As mentioned earlier, as long as your CPU temp (primarily) is in a safe range. What CPU are you running?

If you guys are that worried about wearing down your system or slowing it down, then just run it on another computer you don't use that's connected to the net. Surely you guys should have another computer (at least some of you)...

COME ON GUYS!

Let's add more computers...

I've only been doing this for 3 months now, and I'm already in third place on our team...

Come on, pull your weight... Install this app on your parents computers, and stuff... They won't know... Tell them it's a new anti-virus icon, and they'll be happy.

i got 3 machines running it! all of them run for like 12 hours a day, how many pc's and how long they up for if u made it to 3rd?

Well I have 5 CPU's running it basically 24/7. It will be 6 when I install XP on this machine, so it can use 2 cpus to process cancer.. (I'll probably only have it running 12/7 for one cpu.) But that won't be for a while, cuz my motherboards fubared, and so it's only running one CPU right now.. I'm sending it back for an RMA on Monday though.

My other machines are as follows, in case anyone cares:
2 PII 350's
1 Dual Celeron 366

This machine is a Dual PIII 1Ghz.

If they had a linux client, I could easily add 2 dual 800's, and more although not 24/7, as those machines have real work to do too.

how did you manage to get it to run on dual cpu's? was it easy to?

You can only do it in XP (as far as I know). I haven't been able to get it to work on 2000...

You need to log in, and start the client, then switch users, log in as a different user, and start a second client. (Different folder). You can set the affinity of each process if you want, to limit it to a specific CPU, but I don't think you need to...

You also might need to set up a shortcut to the UD exe, and set it to be in Windows2000 compatability mode, but I can't remember for sure..

(In order to use both cpus, you'll be processing 2 different units, using 2 different devices (grid.org devices))

as simple as that!

i did see this on how some people have managed to get it to run linux, dont know how well it works as i havnt got time to install linux and get it all set up atm - http://forum.ud.com/ubbcgi/ultimate...ic;f=6;t=004756

Yah, I haven't tried running it with wine... I may... I don't know... I think Wine runs under Xwindows, and since I don't have X on any of my linux machines that won't work... I'll look into it another day maybe.

does anyone find it somehow corrupt that united devices is selling ad space on our UD clients?? i mean, we're all doing charitable work here, and they're hawking cheap ads at us... i dunno...

the only adds i see in that bit are a IBM one (from my understanding they did a fair bit of coding for this project) and some reaseach one liked to the chemistry departmant of the uni of oxford, uk. i have a fealing these ads are here as a thank you to the work these institutions have put into the united devices project, how ever if i see some comercial add in here ill totaly change my view on these adds

hahaha... i'm SURE i saw it.. and i haven't been drunk for a few weeks now... i'll take a screenshot next time i see it, =P.

cool, i'll do it...besides, many americans and canadians die from cancer...you maybe helping a fellow TA'er!

thanx for joining!
