Hello,

and here a copy of stdoutdae.txt message:

It´s probably a problem with running boinc under account admin (write-protection).
How can I change the account to all users?

Antivirsoftware (Avira) is configured not search boinc files.

What´s wrong?

Thanks for your answers.

Re: Can´t create link file

Hello Alfgo,
To change to All Users, reboot, uninstall BOINC, download BOINC from WCG, reinstall to All Users, reconnect to WCG.

Re: Can´t create link file

Hello all again,

after reinstalling Boinc to run under`"all users" the error continues

Here the stdoutdae file message:

17-Nov-2010 00:40:28 [World Community Grid] Computation for task X0000106670344200901211049_1 finished

17-Nov-2010 00:40:40 [---] [error] Couldn't write state file: fopen() failed; giving up

I think it´s a problem with running under account admin.
Can I change the boinc folder from directory "all users" to "admin" with copy and paste?

Re: CanÂ´t create link file

Have you updated to the newest Avira version recently?

About 9 days ago, I updated to the newest Avira and my system became very unstable if left running more than 24 hours without a restart. explorer.exe would have major problems, causing directories to not open or files to not work properly. I uninstalled Avira and switched to Avast about 30 hours ago and so far haven't had any more problems (I know 30 hours isn't very long but Avira couldn't last that long). Here is a snippet of the stdoutdae file while running under Avira:

Edit: It appears that the Avira SP1 for Ver. 10 is causing problems with some XP SP3 systems. Here is one link on the Avira forums, and there are several other threads about similar problems.

Re: CanÂ´t create link file

Hello again,
I followed the advise of BobCat13.
And really the problem was caused by antivirsoftware Avira.
I´ve deinstalled Avira and let Boinc running without antivirsoftware to see, if Avira is causing the problem with WinXP SP 3.0.
After finished a wu, Boinc opened and created the link file.
Then I downloaded Avast!freeware and installed.

So Boinc is back again and runs very well on my pc. smile

Many thanks for your help, especially BobCat13.

Kind regards to all.
