I will not run this code until it gets fixed I had to rebuild the system from all the damage program area on the disk. I have detached the project for now.

good luck.

Carl,
I beleive I have found the underlying problem causing your internal crashes. I notice earlier tonight that the system I was running had a high amount of fragmentation, (windows-ME, 768K, 8GIG disk,1.3G CPU), I shutdown all programs and went to another O/S on same system compressed the disk and started up again, I ran for two hours and looked at the disk again from the second O/S and found another 1800 fragments all for CPDN project of various sizes. The system becomes very un-predictable in its operation as the fragments start to crawl over system data area on the disk. YOUR DISK MANAGEMENT ROUTINES NEED FIXING, stats for project environment are , BOINC 4.13, CPDN, 4.04, SETI 4.07, only CPDN produces fragments of this level and also cause system and CPDN stability problems.

Hi, The memory failure I had, at least one of them I do remember something about graphics routine, but at the time I was not looking at it. However in the last statement, I may have looked or displayed it for my wife at an earlier time and I wonder if your closing routine or memory release never completes and hangs in background till machine reaches at near memory overload condition and window crashes your primary module as owner of memory block????

First time of the error I was 1.50 hrs into the pridiction unit. The second time I was into a new work unit after \"Reset\" \"9.30HRS\" both time took VSERR and second time produced abend panel on screen had to reset entire system. Project Tech should be attentive to this problem.
