What's new in 5.4

• Support for 'Account managers' - web sites that let you browse BOINC projects, attach/detach, change resource share and settings, all with point-and-click simplicity. Account managers are also great if you have several computers - you just have to make changes once.

Installing

Windows

• Single-user installation

  This is the recommended mode. BOINC will run while you (the installing user) are logged in. BOINC is listed in the Start menu of you,but not other users. The 'Show graphics' command in the BOINC manager works only for you. The BOINC screensaver shows applicationgraphics only for you (other users can run the screensaver but will see textual information only).

• Shared installation

  BOINC runs whenever any user is logged in. BOINC is listed in the Start menu of all users. While BOINC is running, it runs as a particular user (either the first user to log in, or the first to run BOINC). The 'Show graphics' command in the BOINC manager works only for this user. The BOINC screensaver shows application graphics only for this user (other users can run the screensaver but will see textual information only).

• Service installation

  BOINC runs all the time (even when no one is logged in). BOINC is listed in the Start menu of the installing user, but not other users. The 'Show graphics' command in the BOINC manager will not work for any user. The BOINC screensaver will only show textual information.

Uninstalling

Known issues

• If you use a proxy server, please hold off upgrading for now. We have a fix in the works for proxies that use NTLM authentication.

Windows

• (Windows) If BOINC applications are repeatedly crashing on your computer, it's possibly that you need to upgrade to the latest version (9.0c or later) of DirectX .
• (Windows) If BOINC runs at the same time as Windows XP 3-D screensavers, the system becomes sluggish and unresponsive.
• (Windows) Applications that were built before October 2004 do not display screensaver graphics with the Service or Shared install type, or the Single-user install type with the password protect screensaver option on NT based machines.

Troubleshooting BOINC

• If you have a problem with a particular project, go to the 'Questions and Answers' area of the project's web site. You may find the solution to your problem. If not, post it there, and you'll get help from other users. If the problem persists, use the BOINC Manager to 'reset' that project. This will erase any jobs in progress and start from scratch.
• If you have problems with BOINC itself, get help from the BOINC message boards (原文).
