1) Questions and Answers : Windows : Comments for \'Generic solutions to models\' sticky (Message 24104) Posted 26 Aug 2006 by old_user101783 Post: Well, The ID/units just keep returning Client Error -161 on and on on this machine. I\'m getting a bit tired of this, since i understand most unfinished projects (<10%) are useless for research, and i don\'t enjoy credit which wasn\'t actually beneficial, and it\'s swallowing time on this dual processor xp system which could benefit other boincs. There might be a breakthrough: recently the comptuer started crashing again and again, with a blue window, i followed the clues on the crash screen, ended up downloading a display/graphics driver (don\'t remember the details), since then >20 days and the project is running on, the fact that i set \'no more work\' might also be related, in that there\'s no way for two CP\'s to run now (whereas previously they did many times, and only now i see i should\'ve set one of their graphics off). I hope it\'ll get better, \'cause only about a third of my 22k credit is justified, a big unit on a single-cpu machine, and a small one. I hope it\'ll be possible to solve this via the BOINC/CP end, this is one of the projects i most want to contribute my infinitisimal help to. Thanks, gady b thaye.net

3) Questions and Answers : Windows : cpdn stopping (Message 18196) Posted 14 Dec 2005 by old_user101783 Post: I have the same problem, and I use BOINC 4.45, which I am afraid/don\'t want to upgrade while my cp work unit is nearing completion (nearly 70% done). Sometimes it takes a while to start working again even if I close boinc and restart it (another issue is that sometimes there are two boinc icons in my taskbar, but this doesn\'t seem to be a problem). I am going to two Buddhist retreats here in the north of Israel this Thursday, and want to leave it running on its own for 10 days, so my question is: I run a few work units from different boinc projects together, if cpdn does get stuck, and I\'m not here, does it automatically switch to other projects after the elapsed hour, even though it itself is stuck? what\'s your experience? I could find this out for myself, but I don\'t know if it\'ll get stuck soon, and I\'m a bit lazy, anyway. I might be able to instruct my flatmate to check up on things, but I\'m afraid she\'s not very computer literate. Thanx, gady b
