Task (...) exited with a DLL initialization error.
Hello,
could anyone explain me what it means:
2008-01-04 16:40:05|World Community Grid|Task dddt0301k0648_ZINC06736265-0000_00_0 exited with a DLL initialization error.

2008-01-05 01:38:02|World Community Grid|Task dddt0301k0648_ZINC06736265-0000_00_0 exited with a DLL initialization error.
2008-01-05 01:38:03|World Community Grid|If this happens repeatedly you may need to reboot your computer.

As you can see it happens every 4-5h. What can I do to solve this problem?
If that problem was discussed before, I'm asking for a link there or at least title of that topic.
Thank you in advance :)

Re: Task (...) exited with a DLL initialization error.
Hello Bloodmoon,
I assume you are running Windows XP SP2. The first thing to try is to reboot. The second thing is to suspect your graphics drivers (they are often at fault) and make sure that you are not using them. For instance, make sure that you are not using the BOINC screen saver. (I use 'blank'.)

Is it just DDDT that gives you trouble? Are you running other projects?

Re: Task (...) exited with a DLL initialization error.
Hello Lawrence,
first of all, thank you for your answer :)
Now back to the topic. I am running Windows XP SP2 indeed. Rebooting doesn't work. After 4-5h it happens again. I don't use the BOINC screen saver cuz I don't use any at all :) I used to run other projects as well and the situation was the same. It seems that my graphics drivers make that problem. What can I do about it? Download the latest one from site?

Re: Task (...) exited with a DLL initialization error.
Given you just booted, post the beginning of the message log up to inclusive where the jobs start executing.

Re: Task (...) exited with a DLL initialization error.
Hi Bloodmoon,
First try to find out which DLL is causing trouble/ Go to your Results Status page and click on the Error in the Status column to see if there is more information.

If you are running a graphics card, it is always a good idea to check the website for updated drivers. The 'Useful Utilities' thread at https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=2490 has a post titled Re: Updates and Diagnostics that might be helpful.

Re: Task (...) exited with a DLL initialization error.
Hello again :)
I checked Results Status. I don't have any 'error' status there. I clicked on 'Valid' status of last result. Here is what I found in result log:

Hi Bloodmoon,
It doesn't give me any ideas. All I can suggest is the 'Useful Utilities' thread.

Re: Task (...) exited with a DLL initialization error.
Looks to me as the same job is restarted over and over again, so there can't be an error report on the Result Status page. The local message log at the beginning is likely telling allot more.
