1) Message boards : Number crunching : Announcement: Database residual problem - misallocated WUs (Message 12959) Posted 30 May 2005 by old_user5322 Post: Hi there. My computer (Host 7970) had just finished Result name 1wgn_200109632_1 Result ID 622983. Result doesn't appear to have been received. Now just over 5% of the way through Result name 42oc_100211998_0 Result ID 886824. No credit accruing. Clicking on Result ID reveals that host is 71110. Also: stderr out 4.25 Il n'y a pas de processus enfant Ã attendre. (0x80) - exit code 128 (0x80) Is that significant? Moose.

The only unusual aspect about last night is that while browsing, I opened a page which prompted Norton to flash up a series of warnings about viruses whereupon I updated and ran an Ad-Aware scan, as well as checking with Spybot, SpywareBlaster and running a full Norton scan. Don't imagine any of these activities would have affected BOINC, though. Cheers, Moose.
4) Questions and Answers : Windows : Result exited with zero status but no 'finished' file (Message 7231) Posted 10 Jan 2005 by old_user5322 Post: Morning (for such it is). I switched my machine off last night with 95% of the WU processed. I switched on this morning to find this error message, and a subsequent message stating that the result was restarting. What steps (if any) can I take to avoid repeating this waste of time and processing capacity? Cheers, Moose.
