Hey Guys,
My model had got to about 1844, it has clocked nearly 572 hours of CPU time. I\'ve been leaving my computer on as much as possible, but i don\'t always leave it connected to the internet, I went to bed leaving BOINC running on tuesday night along with some open browser windows (not connected to the internet though) for some research i was doing. When I woke, no programs were responding, I couldn\'t get the BOINC GUI to open up so that I could exit the file before rebooting my computer. I shut my computer down and it went through the process of closing my programs one by one. However BOINC has gone weird on me since i rebooted, I have copied the messages to submit to you as I don\'t understand exactly what they are telling me and I was hoping you might be able to help me, It seems to be saying that the progress is 100% which doesn\'t seem right because it was only in 1844. I have looked at other messages on the forum (most recent) but have not got time to read all of them as I need to get to work! Hope you can help, I\'m using a Dell Dimension 3100 with Windows XP Intel pentium 4 200Gb hard drive

From this and your other post it does sound like you have a problem. It sounds like at a minimum the crash caused your current model to abort, probably due to a corrupt client_state.xml file. If you have a backup from before the crash you may be able to restore it and continue from that point. Otherwise count that model gone and hope the next one has better luck.

It may be a more serious problem with the address you have being corrupt as well or instead of the client_state.xml file. I can\'t be sure as I just got an error trying to connect to the servers so it could be on the project\'s end. If it does turn out to be a problem on your end you will need to detach and reattach.

I don\'t see any sign of life... one model hasn\'t been heard of for a while, and the other was manually aborted?

Is \'no more work\' set, or perhaps the manager is suspended?
