That's quite fascinating. I'd rather not go to classic CPDN though because I have 3 other BOINC projects running. <a href="http://tinyurl.com/9hemz"><img src="http://www.boincsynergy.com/images/stats/comb-1441.jpg"></img></a>

(-: > but that's my point is that I've only had one WU exit under -5 and all my other projects work fine. I'll do the tests a little later just in case though. <a href="http://tinyurl.com/9hemz"><img src="http://www.boincsynergy.com/images/stats/comb-1441.jpg"></img></a>

9) Message boards : Number crunching : Huh? (Message 13241) Posted 8 Jun 2005 by old_user72842 Post: I find it hard to believe that any of my hardware could be faulty when none of the hardware in my system is older that 1 yr. old (and the time they've been in there no errors so I doubt any manufacturing error). Plus, I am running 3 other BOINC projects all fine. And I'm using BOINC 4.43/4.44/4.45 so it may be the new version of boinc. CPU: About 6 months old Motherboard: About 6 months old Power Source (Dunno what it's called) : About 9 months old Graphics Card: ABout 1 year old RAM: About 6 months old Also, 4 WU's were abandoned (sent but never received) 3 show computing error two of which had error code -1. So, this is the first time I've had a -5. <a href="http://tinyurl.com/9hemz"><img src="http://www.boincsynergy.com/images/stats/comb-1441.jpg"></img></a>

I installed BOINC 4.44 and I presume that CPDN sent out a new version of hadsm3 and all of a sudden I saw CPDN graphics in my screensaver.

19) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Merging Accounts (Message 12337) Posted 6 May 2005 by old_user72842 Post: I already have an E@H, S@H, and Protein Predictor acount, and they all merged when I changed my e-mail address to the same on all projects. Then I created the ClimatePrediction.net account and signed up with the same e-mail address and have already trickled once, and still the CPID of my cpdn account is different than the other three. When will it update to show that it's all one account?
