Once you\'ve copied the files, install a fresh copy of Boinc on top of them, and try running it.

A simpler thing which can cause a similar problem is if the copy was via a CD-R, the \'read-only\' attribute is set. It\'s easy to fix that, browse c:\\program files\\, right-click on \\boinc\\, properties, click the \'read-only\' checkbox twice to make it clear, and then \'OK\'. Select \'change this folder, sub-folders, and files\' so that everything within is changed to allow both read-write.

So \"doc\", will it \"survive\"? Can I hope to get my old files working again or should i give them up and download new ones : (?

If you still have the original around somewhere (on the old disk?) then you can try copying them again.

But copy them with your normal account, ...

...and before you run Boinc, make sure everything allows reading and writing,

... and also reset the owner of the files.

If you want to have a go at that, tell me and I\'ll try to find the instructions for that... (it\'s a bit fiddly and my memory is rubbish :-) ).

If you don\'t have the original then downloading a new model is the best way to go, but I\'d Uninstall boinc first, delete the directory, then reinstall it. You may need to use the administrator account to do the delete.

There are 26 crashed models. But most of these are old - long before the Core2 was released... (so I guess it\'s an upgrade).

At what time did the upgrade take place, just before the 29th December by any chance?

The model which ran from 31st Oct to 29th Dec crashed with this:

Exit code 0 + BUFFIN: Read Failed: Permission denied
BUFFIN: C I/O Error - Return code = 32
Model crashed: umshell1.f: READDUMP: BAD BUFFIN OF DATA


It looks like something may have gone wrong with the permissions on the files. Do you happen to know if the drive is NTFS, or FAT32, and was it copied from a different drive?

Hi,

Which one is causing the trouble, is it:

http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/show_host_detail.php?hostid=226595? (a lot of crashed results reported).
