1) Message boards : Number crunching : completion date (Message 16969) Posted 3 Nov 2005 by James Nelson Post: Deadlines are flexible in CPDN, but if you\'re running BOINC 5.* and other projects you could find that it runs CPDN exclusively in an attempt to meet your model\'s deadline. useing 5.2.5 ,Im not sure but I think It should have already gone into EDF mode maybe it will soon.its due 2/24\\06 and should take about 2 mos of constant crunching to complete.

3) Message boards : Number crunching : question on backing up (Message 16299) Posted 27 Sep 2005 by James Nelson Post: do i only need to backup just the contents of the climate folder or are their other files that I need to save?
4) Message boards : Number crunching : sulphur model keeps erroring out (Message 16241) Posted 25 Sep 2005 by James Nelson Post: just an update project still running second trickle sent. my prob must have been the active virus scan every time a file opens or closes. most probably, i\'ve heard that some \"lock\" the file with exclusive access (so BOINC won\'t have a chance) although i must admit i\'ve never had a problem with this myself just for the record, what brand, version/flavour of virus scanner are u using, incase others have this problem Lee E-Trust AV Ver 7.0.6.7 made by computer associates. product works great climate just didnt like to wait for it to scan each time it opened the WU

6) Message boards : Number crunching : sulphur model keeps erroring out (Message 16052) Posted 16 Sep 2005 by James Nelson Post: I believe I have fixed the problem I excluded the Boinc folder from active virus protection and all seems well. I also stoped BoincView although Im not sure how that would interfere. does anyone else run BoincView 1.02 with climate?
7) Message boards : Number crunching : sulphur model keeps erroring out (Message 15794) Posted 7 Sep 2005 by James Nelson Post: I dont get a boinc error windows tells me x program has encountered a problem and must shutdown. boinc acts like the program is running but no clock ticks ,task manager shows program ether not in memmory or just not useing any resorces. when I shut down boinc and then restart it runs for a short period 1 to 5 min and then windows pops up with x program has encountered a problem. BTW seti and Einstein run with no prob

I may return in six months and try then to see if the software works. it is just too bad because I believe that this is one of the more worthy projects out there.

11) Message boards : Number crunching : Time keeps running (Message 14030) Posted 3 Jul 2005 by James Nelson Post: thats to bad that excludes two of my machines. wonder if they plan on fixing it so it's compatable I'm sure alot of people would aprove.
12) Message boards : Number crunching : Time keeps running (Message 14024) Posted 2 Jul 2005 by James Nelson Post: is the current model compatable with win ME, and 98?
13) Message boards : Number crunching : Time keeps running (Message 14016) Posted 2 Jul 2005 by James Nelson Post: while prempted the clock keeps running which changes the time to complete untill it thinks that it cannot be done in time and halts all work fetches because the host is over comitted. tried running it both ways,leave in memory and remove, results were the same. are others haveing this problem. useing BOINC 4.5 and just downloaded the client on 7/1 so it must be the newest ver. anyone know how to fix this? have detached untill I learn more as this interfears with SAH
