Hellos,

I had a work unit that is still missing some 1000 hours of processing, but it was working under Win32bit. My computer had to be upgraded to 64 bit, and just copying the backup to the new data folder on versoin 6 did not do the trick. I supose that the 32 bit application cannot run on the 64 bit system, right?

What should I do with the 1000+ hours it had processed already?


EDIT: actually, I just got a new WU that on Task Manager is listed as *_intelx86 and it\'s supposedely running natively on 64 bits. What gives? Why I can\'t do this with the old WU? Is it because of the new version of BOINC? (On 32bit it was 5.*, now is 6.*).

You can\'t use a backup made with BOINC version 5 to restore when using BOINC version 6.

The \"64 bit\" models are just 32 bit models. There is some server code which will send them when work is requested by a 64 bit system.

If you still have the \"32 bit\" model in the Tasks tab and it won\'t run, then just abort it.
