1) Questions and Answers : Windows : Task stuck at 92.318% for over a month (Message 34384) Posted 24 Jul 2008 by Tom Welsh Post: This one\'s a loser. Abort it. Many thanks for such a clean, definite, understandable reply! No sooner said than done... And once again thanks to everyone who responded - one of my best support experiences, I\'m glad to say. Next time I have a problem I will have no hesitation returning... You have been warned. 8-)

3) Questions and Answers : Windows : Task stuck at 92.318% for over a month (Message 34379) Posted 24 Jul 2008 by Tom Welsh Post: I brought up the graphics by clicking the button on the Tasks tab. The graphics window came up in temperature mode, and I set it rotating to get an all-round view. It\'s plain blue with white outlines for the continents - no temperature contours or fill whatsoever. R, P, and C all give similar results, with different colour schemes of course. Looks as though nothing at all is happening - it\'s dead. OK, today I looked at the graphics again - and now it\'s perfectly normal, showing a rather hot world in about 2060. Not a spot of blue anywhere this time! Pressure, clouds, precipitation are also varying dynamically. Yet my progress is still jammed at 92.318%. So it looks as though I have not entered an \"ice world\". What should I check next? And am I adding any value to the experiment by continuing? Please spell things out clearly for me, as I am a complete dabbler (if even that) in this field.

I really appreciate it, as I was beginning to feel pretty isolated. Like many users, I just select likely-looking projects and set them going. Apart from checking their overall progress (which led to my original post) I don\'t take much interest. First things first. I brought up the graphics by clicking the button on the Tasks tab. The graphics window came up in temperature mode, and I set it rotating to get an all-round view. It\'s plain blue with white outlines for the continents - no temperature contours or fill whatsoever. R, P, and C all give similar results, with different colour schemes of course. Looks as though nothing at all is happening - it\'s dead. Of course I\'ll apply the several other things you and the others suggested, but does this clinch the matter on its own?
5) Questions and Answers : Windows : Task stuck at 92.318% for over a month (Message 34356) Posted 23 Jul 2008 by Tom Welsh Post: My current task has been running for over 1248 hours, but since it hit 92.318% done the time to completion keeps increasing proportionally, so it always stays at that 92.318% (give or take a few thousandths). The question is, am I just throwing away all the processor time I am giving climateprediction? Because if so, I shall unsubscribe and run more user-friendly projects like SETI and WCG. I\'m not too worried if it really is a bug; I\'m happy to provide all the time needed, as long as it\'s not being wasted.
