I’m running World Community Grid software on a Windows XP SP2 system. The program downloads a work unit, then processes it for a varying time period, usually several hours, then needs to connect to server to upload results and download a new work unit. It needs to call up dialup networking to do so. It does this with no problem in Windows 98SE, but not in XP.
When I start IE on my XP system, it calls up dialup networking, dials and connects as it should, so I know my connection is correctly configured. Can anybody help with this?
I tried running in different compatibility modes – it wouldn’t run at all in 95 or 98 mode- got a missing dll error. Ran OK in 2000 mode, but had original problem, not calling up dailup networking. Any other suggestions?
