Which thread? It would be extremely difficult for me to unload all the virus scanning/firewall software on all these machines. I'd be curious as to which flavor of antivirus software was the culprit and what signature version they were using.

Any update on the progress of fixing these WU errors?

Thanks

The only unusual thing about HDC is the large memory size required and the large check point file ( http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/viewTopic.do?shortName=minimumreq ). If that does not point you toward anything, then maybe changing your profile to crunch anything but HDC is the easiest (though unsatisfying) solution.

If it's understood correctly, that u cannot get anything from WCG, even when ticking all but the HDC project of WCG, but same time can do other Distributed Computing projects (NOT WCG?), U might want to try 'reset'. Go to the projects tab, select WCG and hit the button. If that does not do the trick, detach from WCG and re-attach. It will re-establish the relationship and verify the secure components.

U speak of computers in the plural..... do they all have the same issue? 750mb ram specification is a bit stingy..... discussions were to update the requirement to 1gb and suppose that most do have that......few will physically have 764mb.

If u have a fresh log regarding denial of work transmission, please post with computer ID or send message to Contact US, so the technicians could have a look. Include 5-10 lines from before and after the key lines for completeness.

What are the commonalities of the machines as no one is reporting an "all machine" problem? If all are running on the same BOINC profile, the allocated size of VM (and space to grow) and project allocation, which should be like ample, could cause them refusal to run. The models are demanding and do build to sometimes over 1gb a piece. Suggest to verify that your profile settings meet the below.

For the Help Defeat Cancer project, the minimum requirements are:

    * At least a 200MHz Intel Pentium™ processor or equivalent
    * At least 750 MB RAM (with virtual memory enabled)
    * 2000 MB Hard Disk Drive with at least 500 MB available for use
    * The ability to display 8-bit graphics at 800x600 resolution
    * An Internet connection with minimum 40 kbps speed
    * Operating System: Windows 98, ME, 2000 or XP 

Else, cannot think of why they wont run. Do they today even download if u select HDC only in your profile after making sure to hit the 'update' button in the Projects tab, when WCG is selected?
