1) Questions and Answers : Windows : Unfinished tasks (Message 61812) Posted 25 Dec 2019 by James Mayor Post: Thankfully, I am unblacklisted! I believe I have narrowed down the issue of why my tasks are never able to finish. Virtually all of my tasks are of the ten-day variety. Unfortunately, MS loves to upgrade more often than ten day cycles. The other day one of my two computers running ClimatePrediction (CP) had to reboot for another reason. The CP task was lost, although there were about five more days required. The other computer that hasn’t rebooted lately is still running fine. Also there are several CP tasks running at the same time, which, no doubt, slows them all down. The concern is when my computer reboots why do I always lose the CP jobs and never any of the other BOINC ones I run (namely Universe and World Community)? They all restart just fine after a reboot.
2) Questions and Answers : Windows : Blacklisted (Message 61141) Posted 2 Oct 2019 by James Mayor Post: Have I been blacklisted? I haven't received a job in several months.
3) Questions and Answers : Windows : Lost jobs and "busted" link (Message 60705) Posted 23 Jul 2019 by James Mayor Post: Okay. I concede. I found that no new work was available on Climate Prediction so I opened several other projects. After I downloaded several jobs I opted out of those projects hoping that Climate Prediction would be available later. It seems today I downloaded jobs on my two computers. I opened BOINC on one computer just to see what was available. One computer showed the job running, but that computer had already opted out of the other projects so I left it. On the other computer I opened BOINC to see what was running and saw that a Climate Prediction job was running. When I went to the menu to opt out of the other projects, then went back to the main BOINC screen there was no job. I waited and was advised that no jobs were available. I believe there is a problem and I don’t think it is on my computers.

I'll just continue on the way I am. I apologize to everyone for messing everything up. If I continue to cause problems just drop me.
5) Questions and Answers : Windows : Lost jobs and "busted" link (Message 60683) Posted 20 Jul 2019 by James Mayor Post: One of my 24/7 computer uses an Intel core i5-3470 cpu, and the other an AMD A6 Pro-7400B cpu. I have the same "problem" with both. None of the "suspended" options are checked and I have never voluntarily suspended any job on BOINC. I never shut down the computers, but MS does.
6) Questions and Answers : Windows : Lost jobs and "busted" link (Message 60654) Posted 12 Jul 2019 by James Mayor Post: Sorry about the email. So do you receive error messages? I think I have plenty of memory since I am not running anything else. I can't always control the computer shutting down. MS and AVG sometimes shut it down at night. Maybe I should unplug the LAN? I don't always check, but it would seem that most of the time the computer is shut down at night, when I reboot in the AM BOINC starts okay, i. e., without losing the job. When a job runs for ten or so days I will notice that. If I shut down the LAN near the end of a long job, will BOINC just wait until the internet is available again to upload the results? If so, maybe I'll do that. Yes, I did find you.
