Hi. After reinstall winXP I have still this error message: "agent communicates with server frequently". I am using Outpost firewall, but UD.exe is part of trusted applications in my settings. Agent downloaded data for task few times and then Ive got this error message. Thx for help.

hi peter6366,
----------------------------------------very possibly you do have a security software issue. please read this post by Viktors in the Known Issues forum: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=1883#10540 In fact the agent program - UD.exe - is just an interface. The science and control is done by 2 other programs. Add these to the exceptions and the problem is likely resolved. A list of all the programs WCG runs for different projects is provided here: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=10301

I tried install and run agent in other pc without Outpost, no problem. On my pc I disabled components control in Outpost fw, but agent still want run task. It downloaded task data, try to run task then download next task data. No mesage in agent or outpost. After downloading few tasks data I can see window I sent before. Id like to use WCG agent but I dont want stop using Outpost firewall. Any solutions to "right" settings? Thx.

Sometimes a complete uninstall and boot is needed for deeply hidden security software components to get removed/de-activated. I use Sunbelt Kerio PF. Very happy, but when behind the router firewall, none at all.

hmmm, getting work and crashing. Run hardware tests (see Useful Utilities thread in Start Here forum) after security software problems have been eliminated. Was Outpost all there was running.... AV also can cause problems?
----------------------------------------Have to run now.... catch u laeter.

I am IT technician, believe me, hw works perfectly. I was using Kerio but Outpost is better choice for me. Now I tried close fw and stop outpost service. I checked it, outpost service was disabled. I installed WCG again...still same problem. I tried new user name...but same problem. Any idea?

Going back to the original reply, DEP of Windows is set to run standard Woz activity or also to monitor other apps? UD.exe on start up creates a DLL UDwin_3801_2844.DLL that only exists in memory. You're not getting a warning, so exclude this for the moment.

Works when WCG agent does not and the migration is simple (for a IT technician). Still exhausted from my run

Still exhausted from my run DLL like this "ud_12980725.dll" I have in folder where is WCG installed. I think it crashes when try to run exe of each task. I dont use active spyware, AV is NOD32 but this AV I have on PC that WCG working too. HW seems to be ok. I tried run WCG on vmware on same PC I have problem and it works. I will try BOINC. |
