URGENT: Darwinia will not run and will not download

[tommy060289]

I just turned my computer on and darwinia has decided to just stop working, it comes up with the authentication error saying its running on the wrong computer. The blackbox file is in the quote at the bottom of this post.

I have no changed any settings on my computer or swapped any hardware or donwloaded anything so I don't see why it wouldn't work.

I tried to download a new copy and I created a new system info file and tried to upload it and all I get is an error in red saying: 'Machine information failed to validate'.

Did you download the new version of the sysinfo tool here?

[Phydaux]

Yes, there is a new sysinfo prog, for beta 2. (Still phase 1 testers) You'll want to Download the new beta too

[tommy060289]

yeah, I tried it just after the post, just wonderin but why was the system info detector changed, wat other info does it collect.

Just wonderin aswell but in task manager how do u get out of a window once selected because it tells me to scroll out of it but i cant do it.

[LLamaBoy]

It was fixed for the people with P3/Celeron systems, who were having problems with it detecting some info that wasn't actually there in their registries. So they used another method to get the same information. No new info is taken by this new version.

Theres a new beta? :S

EDIT: holy moly *downloads*

[Hektik sniper]

I got the same problem Tommy :/ Im gonna try re-downloading both now, but if it doesnt work my 3 downloads will be gone.

Edit - Ok this time it worked, but i would be grateful if one of the IV team could restore my 2 downloads that didnt work because of the old sysinfo tool.

[RoystonD12]

I made a new file with the sysinfo tool v2 and i'm getting the same error as tommy...

Edit: To clarify, the site wont accept my new sysinfo tool and thus I can't download p1b2 (phase 1, beta 2 )

Surely you mean phase 1 beta 2.1?

There was a b2 out then 30mins later Chris made a new version to which *should* run on everyone's system.
