I had been running a \"sulpher\" experiment for six weeks, or so, and was about 84% done. When I checked the next day the status was \"done\" (or maybe it said \"finished\"). Anyway, when I checked my work unit the outcome was listed as \"client error\" and also reported \"Too many error results\".

What does this mean? Was my work lost?
Thanks, Steve W.

That\'s an error I haven\'t seen before in this forum: 0xc0000142 - anybody knows what this is?

It\'s a Windows error message : \'application failed to start properly\'.

A couple of questions for the original poster:

* Did this occur at any particular point (i.e., system startup, or when another program was running, or something? Was there a problem when the pc was previously shut down?)

* Is the climate screensaver being displayed? (We usually turn it off. Perhaps the graphics drivers were unable to initialise and caused the screensaver to crash, just a guess...)

i don\'t suppose you happen to have a backup prior to the crash?

I found a link here, but it isn\'t very informative:

Also take a look at the topmost post in this forum (\'solving crashes...\').

Hi MikeMarsUK,

Thanks for your reply. Since I don\'t have my eye constantly glued to BOINC, I\'m not sure when or why the crash occured. I have a couple of suspicions, though: the night before I was playing with a simulation game over the internet (\"Second Life\"), which is very resource demanding and crashed a couple times (I think BOINC was also running at the time); also, during the night my cat jumped onto my laptop, knocking the lid shut and shuting down the computer ungracefully. I noticed that BOINC had a problem when I booted up the next morning. Do you think either of these things could have caused the problem?

I don\'t make backups on my home computer (I know, some day I will regret it).

This sort of thing is very discouraging. How much of the value of the run is lost if the project crashes toward the end?

Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,

Either of those could have caused the problem, although the game is probably more likely to be the culprit rather than the cat.

What I do is right-click and \'suspend\' before using a programme which is graphically intensive (such as a game). Once you\'re done, then right-click and \'run according to preferences\' (5.4.9 is \'snooze\', then untick \'snooze\').

Backups of boinc alone are quick + simple, I do it weekly. The simplest approach is :

* Right-click and \'exit\'
* Navigate to c:\\program files using My Computer or windows explorer
* Right-click on \'boinc\', then \'copy\'. Then right-click and \'paste\'.
* Restart boinc by running boinc manager again.

The Sulphur model is only retrievable if you\'ve got a backup. The current model (coupled model, running on both BBC CCE and here) sends a \'restart dump\' up to the servers every 40 model years, so theoretically the project scientists can restart it themselves (note the reply by Carl in the \'wish list\' forum).
