Well, after running WCG with no problems on my new computer, I hooked the old p4 machine up... Started runing fine. Then it hit 6.6%. I opened internet came back a few minutes later... 6.4%.. Wha? Suspicious, I watched it. Sure enough, im not even joking about this either, it resets at EXACTLY 6.66%. resets back to 6.35% Did it repeatedly. Then aborted it, and now that one says aborted, and the other 2 have a "computation error" and are at 100%, and wont go away. Reinstalled boinc, everything they wont go away and I cannot get new work units. Help anyone? Oh, running latest BOINC client on a fresh install of Windows Vista 32 bit home Premium.

Hello AW33,
Better paste your Messages tab here so that we can look at it. Did you look at http://wcg.wikia.com/wiki/Installation_walkthrough_(Vista) or http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=12856 when you installed on Vista? Lawrence |

No I didnt, because I installed it on my new computer which also has vista, without any problems. Like I said, it was that wierd resetting thing at 6.66%, and then computation errors. And I cant get new work units in there.

There's not much to go on but:
----------------------------------------1) Your 6.66 > 6.4 > 6.66 > 6.35% job could have been an FAAH job. Was it? If so, that's a normal pattern until it determines the best energy. 2) A P4 3 ghz is probably a hyperventilating (HT) type where you permitted BOINC to use 1 real and 1 virtual processor, which is heavy. 3) Vista on a P4 is probably very border line. XP would be better. Normally we recommend setting BOINC to use 1 core on a hyperthreading P4 (Advanced menu > Preferences > Processor Tab, On Multi Processor System use 50%. HT causes performance issues for many, so I'd try that first running Vista if you can't get good results. ttyl
