I\'ve got the beachball of eternity. I have made no changes to my system (Mac mini, 10.3.9, 512mb), I just quit out of Boinc while I was doing something memory hungry. When I re-launched it is just giving the beachball and I have to force quit.

200+ processor hours, 7 and a bit %. If I have to start again I will be well dis-chuffed. Any ideas?

When you say: I just quit out of Boinc, I hope you mean that you clicked Exit in the menu, rather than the X at the top right.
It\'s a bit like unbolting the engine from a car without first turning off the ignition; NOT a good idea.
Your two models seem to be still running, but perhaps the server software just hasn\'t updated yet.

The only way to recover a crashed model, is from a backup of the BOINC folder made before the crash.
And if I had even 1 cent for each time I\'ve told people this, I\'d be quite well off by now.

Correct, except being a Mac it says Quit, not Exit. I also made sure nothing was running.

Is everything of importance kept in the Application Support folder?
