1) Questions and Answers : Windows : Model resets when restarting on Vista (Message 30969)

Thanks for that, it sounds good advice. I need to figure out how to re-apply the lost work if it happens again. It would be good, however, to find the exact cause of the problem. We will see if the next update to the BOINC software resolves the issue.

I have identified part of the cause of my reset problem. If I shut down or restart Vista without exiting BOINC first, it resets to zero with a new model name. However, if I exit first it carries on where it left off on the next startup. I have restarted many times without a problem, reaching 18% completion, but today forgot to exit befor shutting down and it has now started a new model at 0%. This is very frustrating, but I have not seen any other similar queries. Could there be a permanent fix to this error?

I have now re-installed Vista Ultimate and installed BOINC to C:\\BOINC as suggested earlier. However, I also initiated the installation by right clicking the application file and selecting \"Run as administrator\". I am not sure if this farticular addition to the routine made the diference, but it is now running well and restarting at an accumulated poosition on system startup. My only problem now is to enable it as a Defender approved startup application, as it always ask for comfirmation to run when opening Vista.

Many thanks to everyone who assisted within this thread.

I copied the data and installed over the copy, but my data seems to have been updated somehow to cause a corrupt startup each time. I might delete the data file and install from clean. It was only at 6.2% after all.

Another reinstall started a new application from 0.00%, but exiting and restarting BOINC resulted in the following:-

I transferred the BOINC folder directly from the old drive to the new drive, placing it in c:\\program files\\BOINC. I then installed BOINC 5.8.16 and it started at 6.270, where it had ended on the previous PC. Unfortunately, it always restarts at 6.270%.
I have now transferred BOINC to c:\\BOINC and re-installed 5.8.16. This time it ignored my previous work and downloaded a new task, starting at 0.00%.
Following a reboot, it does not start at all, giving the following messages.

I have recently transferred my BOINC files from an XP PC to a Vista PC. BOINC initially started where it had left off on XP at 6.270%. However, when restarting BOINC, the progress always returns to 6.270%. Today I restarted having reached 9.890% after several days to find it again reset to 6.270%. Unless a correction is found I will have to stop using BOINC on this PC. Any advice is welcome.

Mike and Spydermb, many thanks for your help on that. I just tried changing my user name to differentiate myself, but my stats just remained as Andrew Wood, so I changed it back to avoid causing confusion. I\'ts strange as there is only one Andrew Wood listed in the Participant profiles - me!. Could the other entries relate to my processing?

I tried attaching my stats to my signature, as you suggested, but I get the incorrect user info. I have gone to the BOINC stats link, but cannot find my user ID anywhere. Use of 19380 gives the stats for Nickmat (?)

Any help would be appreciated.

I have two tasks running on seperate PC\'s. They are both progressing well (25% and 5% progress), but during the last week my \"Work Done\" has not changed.

The only changes made at the time when the figure stopped increasing were transfer of the second task from one drive to another and the resetting of \'Leave application in memory while preempted\' to Yes.

Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can ensure my work is accounted for?

Post:
I would suggest that the problem relates to the BOINC installation or setup on your PC, as BOINC re-installation was the only change I made to enable successful operation. I had previously tried disabling Antivirus and Firewall\'s without correcting the error.

Incidentally, I never did recover the work completed to that point.

Since the 9th January, my BOINC conection has been running correctly with the new application. Imediately prior to that I was getting error 500. It must have been a server problem as I didn\'t change anything else at my end.

Unfortunately my previous 1½ runs seem to have been lost.

My BOINC project is now active and has started a new application. I wonder if a change to the server following the holiday period corrected it. Unfortunately the last fully completed application did not automatically upload. Is there any way I can manually upload it from my hard drive or backup? Alternatively, can I re-apply it for automatic upload?

I have not had any work listed for the past two days and assume I have lost 1½ runs. Unfortunately I am not recieving a new piece of work due to the \'-182\' error. Disabling the firewall has no effect.
I can only guess that I need to uninstall and re-install BOINC.

Thanks for the advise on backups. It is something that I will certainly do in the future. In the meantime, however, I seem to have no data and my application will not communicate with the climate server.

For other reasons I needed to perform XP restore to 4/12/05, after which I received BOINC message errors. After undoing the restore, my BOINC work has disappeared (100% was waiting to upload and 60% was in progress). This just seems to be getting worse with the following messages now being displayed, the last two highlighted in red.
