I am unable to find anything on this error. Try leaving both the http:// AND the https:// off and just use wuprop.boinc-af.org/ it worked for my buddy who still uses Win7 on one of his pc's | |

The 06/11/2022, I updated applications. OK, thanks Sebastien. I had a thought that may of been the case, disappointing as I was the number 9 computer before the application update. Been running BOINC for a long time (still am), in order to get my hours added it looks like I will have to upgrade (either the computer or the software), change, I am not the best with change, alas not a lot I can do about it but go with the flow, I suppose. If the computer died (it is around 10 years old, hence Win XP), I would be in the same boat, so no worries. Thanks again Conan ____________ | |

The 06/11/2022, I updated applications. A nice fresh install of Linux will speed that thing right back up again, add in a 240gb ssd drive for under $20US and it will be better than ever | |

That maybe on the cards. | |

I had checked the application list and it showed that Windows 98 or later, which includes Win XP was still a valid OS (and it still does list it as of this morning the 17th). Yes, this should have been updated in the same moment as the app. And than of course the server should not send any WUs to computers, which are not anymore compatible with the app. ____________ . ![]() ![]() | |

It sad that support for Windows XP has been dropped. I had these problems: | |

Maybe there should be a better error message: i.e. that Windows XP is no longer supported. Like I said, the server should not send any tasks to hosts, which can't run them, just an error message. This should have been changed same moment as the new app was released. Also the app description should be changed on the application page, currently the minimum requirement stated there is Windows 98. ____________ . ![]() ![]() | |

We ran into the same problem developing apps at PrimeGrid: it's close to impossible to develop apps that will run on current versions of Windows as well as XP, so 32 bit XP had to go. 64 bit XP was harder still, and was dropped years ago. | |

Einstein's FGRP5 and probably also BRP4G (not tested myself) run on XP, Milkyway runs on XP (at least the CPU app, not sure about the GPU app), Rosetta runs on XP. They all run on current versions of Windows as well and that are just the very few projects that I participate in and have run the current versions of their apps on XP myself. | |

Sorry Link, but Rosetta does not run on XP anymore. I have XP and was blocked from Rosetta over a year ago. | |

Sorry Link, but Rosetta does not run on XP anymore. I have XP and was blocked from Rosetta over a year ago. Run linux in a VM, and you can use the VM to attach to projects which can no longer support XP. For CPU Linux apps, at least. And, yes, it definitely can be done. I was using VMs on XP back when XP was the current version of Windows. Specifically, I was running 64 bit Linux in a VM under 32 bit Windows XP (on a 64 bit CPU, of course.) It's possible it requires a CPU with hardware virtualization. At that time, some CPUs had it, some didn't. And, no, I don't remember the details. My guess is you would need a really old version of VMWare Player. ____________ Want to find one of the largest known primes? Try PrimeGrid. Or help cure disease at WCG. ![]() | |

Sorry Link, but Rosetta does not run on XP anymore. I have XP and was blocked from Rosetta over a year ago. Hmm... OK, the last time I run Rosetta on XP was version 4.17, the current is 4.21. Anyway, even without Rosetta, most of the projects I run suport XP and you added few more to the list. So it doesn't seem that close to impossible to write applications that support Windows XP and also current versions of Windows. As a side note: I even tried some games that were originally created for Win95-ME, most still run absolutely fine on Win10, all they need are write permissions in their installation dir. I was surprised myself. ____________ . ![]() ![]() | |

I will have to see what data is essential to keep and maybe change that computer to Linux 64 bit which will run heaps of things, however that AMD Phenom is now around 10 years old (80GB hard drive still going strong) so hoping it will run a bit longer. A 250gb SSD drive is now about $25US thru Amazon, I don't know if you have Sata plugs but they do make adapters if not. I run most of my Linux installs, they are Boinc only pc's, on them and they run just fine as long as you either manage the updates or turn them off. Turning off the updates is NOT recommended for pc's that you keep stuff on that can be compromised. | |

I added a new plan_class for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. | |
