hope this is the right place...

some of the things concerning boinc (prob not jus seti) are:
1. slight issue with java installation...how do I get to the "PATH" variable to verify that java.exe is in there...

2. my other machine seems to run the virtual machine aps, but this host doesnt (even thoiugh it has virtual box installed here)...not sure what to do about that either?...

3. Ive started using "Boinc Tasks" (instead of the standard "Boinc Manager)...and cant seem to "find" my other computer...

Im running a slew of projects (through two machines)...this machine is an I5 with win 7...my other is a E1505 with xp

good to be here...look fwd to reading other peoples thoughts etc...
