1) Questions and Answers : Windows : Every downloaded unit crashes (Message 19919) Posted 2 Feb 2006 by old_user19144 Post: In the past year I have successfully completed several runs, but since November nothing has worked. Every unit downloaded since then has terminated sooner or later with a client error. In the last few days the situation has got worse; as soon as Boinc tries to transfer results it gives an error -1 and a new unit is downloaded. This is a waste of time. Can you help?
2) Questions and Answers : Windows : Average credits suddenly gone right down (-60%) (Message 6467) Posted 29 Nov 2004 by old_user19144 Post: > the "recent average credits" were offline for a few days or a week, but they > should be back now. > I notice that everyone's RAC seem to have dropped like mine, and I'm now down to 188.39 despite 5 trickles yesterday. Are you sure it's working right? In fact the more I try and make sense of my stats, the less I understand them, so maybe something is wrong really just with my set. But I see that "results" are still temporarily disabled; does that affect the RAC?

Perhaps it's petty of me to care :) Thanks anyway.

5) Questions and Answers : Windows : Average credits suddenly gone right down (-60%) (Message 6445) Posted 28 Nov 2004 by old_user19144 Post: I understand there was something wrong with the credit calculation system, and maybe I was one of those getting too much (I haven't followed how to work out what I should get), but a drop from 585 or so average credit to 210.82 is a bit drastic! Has something gone wrong?
6) Questions and Answers : Windows : How can I get my second processor working after crash?

It was at 40% and running. It's now marked client error, so I suppose it probably would have been valid if I had not had the machine turned off. :( Is there anything I can do now to resolve the situation? Both processors are running wus apparently. What exactly does update do? and what does reset do? Thanks.
7) Questions and Answers : Windows : How can I get my second processor working after crash? (Message 5597) Posted 24 Oct 2004 by old_user19144 Post: Somehow my dual-processor computer got turned off, wrecking one of the CP models. That model was replaced by a new one when I restarted BOINC. I foolishly tried to do a restore because both models were at 40%. It didn\'t work as I expected. Now one model is at 65%, and the other processor says it is working but it never sends trickles. Meanwhile I am supposed to have a different model running according to my account details, but I overwrote it at the restore. I dare not try update or reset because I am afraid of losing the good model. Please help!
8) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Adding a second Comp. attached to my Router (Message 4832) Posted 30 Sep 2004 by old_user19144 Post: > One account is enough to run all of your computers. Just start boinc up and > then paste the same URL and id number that you did on your first computer. > sorry, previous message got truncated. here's the rest: I'm sharing internet access between 2 computers and I use ccproxy. Looking at ccproxy's logs I can see that BOINC doesn't even attempt to access the internet. What has gone wrong?
