Welcome to the WCG Fora,

Nothing is disappearing, unless the Einstein/Hawking theories need revision. Have a look on Result Status Pages and click on a workunit name for detail status report. It can take up to a week and longer before a quorum 3 is completed (3 identical copies returned of same work unit, by different computers).

cheers

U'd have to post the offending lines and a few more from before and after and past them here in a post, to allow us some understanding. These lines should include the name of the problem work unit. Post also your Computer ID (somewhere at beginning of message log). 'Error' is definitely a client computer event.

To copy, go to the message tab in BOiNC, select the messages, hit the copy selection button in left margin.

Actually I was looking at the "Results Status" page on the Web. It shows one of my reported work units (B10653_0200_CTMA3B1-11-25-22-c2) with a status of "error." When I click on that it gives the following Result Log. From what I can tell I ran out of disk space. I know this isn't a physical limitation of my system as I have plenty of space available (>100 gig), so I am not sure what it means.

ok, did that. Strangely enough the setting before was set to "use no more than 100 gig!" (I don't remember changing this setting before) I set it to 2 as you suggested and updated Boinc.

I looked through the Boinc log and only found one error related to exceeding disk quota or similar. I tried copying the log with the buttons on the left but it never transferred them to my clipboard (bug?). Thinking I may get a better result I quit and restarted Boinc. Then I discovered that this erased my previous logs. So, sorry but can't provide them. Hope this helps though.
