Well...my first task reached 100 percent completion while I was out. I came back and the logon in screen was up, so I entered my login id and password. The program downloaded 4 meg of stuff and started processing again. Although the process started at 0 percent...the graphic looks like it started where the previous 100 percent stopped. However, I'm not sure how to tell if the 100 percent data was properly sent back or not? I'm not really interested in the points, but just want to ensure the data got sent back properly. Thanks.

By the way...I do see that my device storage was updated from .98 G to 4.88 G. I had updated it to 5 G, so hopefully my results were properly returned since this was updated.

Did you perhaps try to copy your Agent's directory to one or more other computers (like for the purposes of quickly installing the Agent on computers instead of running the installer on each)?
If you copy the Agent to other computers, that will result in duplicate work being done and the system will eventually notice and redirect you back to the login dialog in order to ensure that each computer receives a unique "host id" and different molecules to work on. |

No..I actually installed under both accounts on my machine. However, I did have a initial problem running the software under a restricted user account. I changed the folder to allow the restricted user account full access/modify rights to avoid a task backout error message. I was thinking the program could not get to a file it needed.

The inability to write to the directory may also cause that type of problem.
If you are accidentally running two simultaneous copies of the Agent from the same directory on the same computer (such as if you have Fast User Switching enabled and do not log off the other user), then that may also cause the problem I described. Normally, the Agent should detect that another instance of the Agent is running as another user and prevent the second copy from being started, so hopefully you shouldn't be having this problem. |

Um...I'm wondering if I should just uninstall everything and and reinstall only under the restricted user account. I don't think I have two agents (running windows 2000) at the same time. But at this point my member information screen displays no points and one second of total cpu time. I thought I might wait over night and see if anything is different tomorrow, but I hate the thought of running another 20 hours and accomplishing nothing.
