Work units are all black.

I have 4 work units that are all black with the standard text overlays still there. When I go to the BOINC/projects/www.worldcommunitygrid.org and look at the files sizes they are all 249 bytes. They are not erroring out and seem to run the normal length of time.

The work units are:
C0000000220555200907291236
C0000000220774200908050810
C0000000220916200908130855
C0000000221369200907300759

It is not all of the work units starting with C however. Work unit C0000000160157200905270822 is just fine and has a file size of 53.1 KB.

Re: Work units are all black.

Hello ashrader330,
Have you looked at these units using BOINC Manager - Advanced View - Tasks - Properties? Is there anything unusual?

Re: Work units are all black.

Just checked my wife's computer and found 3 more like the others. There are 9 more work units look normal.
C0000000220359200908130855
C0000000280258201001131425
C0000000391414201103170823

My wife's computer runs Windows Vista and my two machines run Linux (work=OpenSUSE 11.3, home=OpenSUSE 11.4).

Re: Work units are all black.

Thank you for pointing this problem out. This appears to affect only the work units with the C prefix (C0000000280258201001131425 example) and we have contacted the researchers to look at these work units. In the meantime, no more C prefix work units are being loaded into BOINC (other work units will continue to be loaded). The remaining C prefix work units will be depleted in the next 24-36 hours.

Re: Work units are all black.

Sounds like a video issue.. but I usually don't display graphics of the work units.. then again not a good idea since my GPU is crunching projects when not in use too... Nvidia GTX 580 3 GB
