I find my computer is not running new tasks. It has 20 or 40 tasks that it claims are in process, but they have used 0.00 sec of CPU. This for over a year.
I have windows 7, an I7, a 760 graphics card 8 G of RAM, 64 G SSD. What is wrong

That's because there isn't any work at present. This was talked about here: VANISHING WU'S.
It can also been seen on the Server Status page in the blue menu to the left of here, 5 from the bottom.

As for the "20 or 40 tasks that it claims are in process", they're NOT in process.
All of them have been completed.

Graphics cards aren't used on this project, so it doesn't matter what it is.

From the looks of the web page for your computers, you disconnected and reconnected to the project many times from December 2012 to February 2013. Each time you did that, the project allocated your computer a new ID number. In effect, the project considered it a different computer.

The "in progress" tasks showing on your computer relate to the older IDs.

You could try using the "merge computers" option shown on the "my computers" page, to tell the project that those old computer IDs are really the same computer as your latest one. That may (or may not) help with the problem -- please let us know how you got on.

Edit: It may take a few days after you perform the merge before any effects are apparent.

Thank you. I understand a little more. One task now running. Have had much trouble - hardware and software and used unqualified people for repairs. I understand I must check the server. Perhaps climate has more volunteers than are needed, but I want to help this project.
