I have mentioned elsewhere that I have never yet been able to complete a sulphur WU.

The specific problem that I have right now is a dialog box that pops up, saying:

sulphur_4.22_windows_intelx86.exe - Application error

The exception unknown software exception (0xc0000005) occurred in the application at location 0x69405822.

Click on OK to terminate the program.

Because this does not trigger DrWatson, I have to assume that the exception is being handled, albeit not properly. I would like to put this application on a set of 18 computers that I am installing at a school, but this dialog box popping up will confuse the poor students, even if I set CPDN to work only at night.

Is there any plan to handle exceptions like this without the dialog box appearing?

For what it is worth: Windows XP Pro 64 with SP1 on 64-bit AMD 3200+; 512MB RAM; BOINC 5.2.13 and sulphur cycle 4.22; and the machine is also running BOINC SETI@Home 4.18.

This machine is being hit by the 1073741819 error, which is a Windows error code. This is why you are getting a Windows message. There is no known infallible cure, and it may have several causes, but some people have fixed it with an update of their graphics drivers, and in at least one case a Windows update (custom option). At the least it is worth trying.

There is no reason to suppose you will get this at school, where the setup is probably different, but of course no promises can be made. Whether Windows app error messages can be suppressed at your end I\'m not certain, but no doubt a Google search...
