1) I have a new message that popped up when I rebooted ( I have not rebooted for about 1 week). It says: SETIWatch Component FLSHTRAY.OCX or one of it's dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid. It has a large red "X" in front of the message, and an "okay" box on the lower right. Sorry, I don't know how to correctly display an image from my computer to the web without having an URL for a website. I don't know what it is or what it's about, nor when it may have first appeared. And I don't know what I did to cause it. Anyone? 2) In the <client_state.xml> file under <coproc_cuda> what is <warpSize>32</warpSize>? I first thought it was kind of funny (thinking back to the Star Trek days), but then I realized it was in the <client_state.xml> file for a reason. Would this relate to running under a 32 bit vs a 64 bit system in Windows 10? George ![]() |

A couple of quick pastes into search engines reveals that SETIWatch is a third-party add-on program, dating from about 1999. According to message 1800144, it was written by Mark Loukko. SETIWatch is not included in vanilla-standard installations of either SETI or BOINC. I can only assume that at some point in the dim and distant past, either you, or somebody else with access to your machine, chose to install it. |

Thanks Richard. In my hasty needs I neglected to check the search engines, and I also neglected to check the files in Control Panel under Programs and Features where I found the SETIWatch and deleted it. DOH! George ![]() |
