If you really do have a 486 processor it is a virtual certanty that you will fail. SETI@Home classic would run on 386 and later processors. SETI@Home Powered by BOINC will require at least a pentium processor. Keep the machine doing SETI@Home Classic. For any of you developers out there, what is the lowest processor? |

That is mostly because of the time the two machines are on. John Keck testing BOINC since 2002/12/08 |

I'm having the exact problem mentioned by the original poster. My machine is a dual AMD Athlon MP 1800+ with 1 GB RAM. My o/s is Windows 2000 Professional. When I double-click the installer, the unpacking window flashes briefly on my screen, and then nothing else happens. |
