Whenever I start listening to streaming audio with RealPlayer, my model crashes. It does this for sulphur_cycle 4.19 and BOINC client 4.45, generating the following error:

climateprediction.net 24/10/2005 23:18:10 Unrecoverable error for result 30e8_100162369_1 ( - exit code -5 (0xfffffffb))

Starting RealPlayer also causes Prime95 to crash, so I realise it is not specifically a problem with CPDN, but hoped someone here may be able to help.

Other applications (including MS Media player) run fine, as does Prime95 the rest of the time.

Cheers

Tim

Someone posted, (somewhere), about the same problem with streaming video with \"Real\".

Only suggestion is: suspend BOINC before using it; unsuspend after.
Or set prefs to: \"Don\'t run while I\'m using the computer\".

Answer - Don\'t use Realplayer. (I.E. - get a real media player)

Thanks - that works - much cleaner than RealPlayer - I never really like that, especially when it wasted weeks of work. And their technical support was almost non-existent.Took me ages to find the culprit, though.

So, thanks for your help

Cheers
