1) Questions and Answers : Windows : Waiting memory (Message 29391) Posted 1 Jul 2007 by old_user387270 Post: This version of BOINC has an option to limit the amount of memory that BOINC is allowed to use. It can be adjusted in General Prefs on your server Account page. Also, 5.10.7 has been \'recalled\' with a serious fault. Nothing official, but I\'ve heard that it can delete all of the icons on the desktop. Thanks for reply. Having returned to look at the model I can see that it \"found\" the memory 15 mins after the reboot. (nothing else running). What may be of interest is that on first bootup this morning I lost all icons on desktop and when \"3 fingered salute\" used, Task Manager reported no tasks. Possibly coincidence but .... Thanks again, Phil S
2) Questions and Answers : Windows : Waiting memory (Message 29389) Posted 1 Jul 2007 by old_user387270 Post: I now have the same message - \"Waiting for memory\". Running XP Pro. Machine has been rebooted after closing down Boinc manager. Problem there before and after reboot. Only Boinc and IE applications running. A look at performance manager shows very few memory page swaps, methinks there is memory available. Boinc manager does not report normal \"Task xxxx restarting\". There are no further tasks queued on this machine and so no work being done. I\'m stuck :o( Any suggestions? Thanks Phil S Running 5.10.7

(Message 27403) Posted 19 Mar 2007 by old_user387270 Post: I just chased it down, Mo, spending a lot more time than necessary. If only... No error listed for that Model. What message, where? Was the Model suspended? Anything in Manager\'s Messages to give us a clue? Do you have other Projects running that might have preempted CPDN? [Edit: Machine ID#550688] [Edit2: This is not a science question.] Answers. You are probably aware that the machine in question is labelled \"mediacentre\" 1. I am not aware that there was any message - I do look most days. It just said running, but the simple \"timer\" screen wasn\'t adding the seconds as usual, and when I looked at the advanced screen, the CPU time wasn\'t incrementing. It was declaring the model running though. 2. I am not aware that the model was suspended this afternoon when I found that, by suspending it manually, I could kick of the second model that had been sitting waiting to start. That is now runnining appparently fine. 3. I am only running climate prediction models. Hope this is of help. My principle aim is not to waste anything that might be of use. Phil S
