What percentage is it at before you switch off?

From a post I put together yesterday

-----------------------------------------------------

If you need to close the program down for whatever reason you click on the little down arrow on the end of the toolbar on the "home" page (The one with the little house)

this will minimise the program to the system tray.

If you then right click on the WCG green stripey Icon in the system tray and select exit you have safely closed down the agent and the next time you launch it you will resume from almost where you left off (bar a few minutes since the last data save checkpoint)

If you kill the application within Task Manager that work unit is aborted and when you launch it again it the program will download a new work unit from the WCG.

Please don't do this as all the CPU time you have given to the previous work unit will be lost and you will not get any credit for it as no useful work has been achieved and that work unit will have to be allocated to another cruncher.


Hope this helps

OK. Well, this is abnormal behavior for the agent. It does checkpoint and you should not lose over 1% of the work you have done on any kind of shutdown. I suggest that you go ahead and kill the work unit with the task manager in order to force the return of that work unit aborted and fetching of a new one. By the way, is the work unit that you are having the problem with a HPF or a FAAH work unit?

i'm having a similar problem, using the approved "exit" method always restarts from 0%.
win2000
pIII 769
RAM 458

i just had a FA@H wu at 43% return at 0% it's the third time this has happened. i dont know if it's the same unit or if it was aborted and a new unit was downloaded.

i also executed the new CPU throttle software and set it at 85% but the UDagent is now running at 99% instead of 60% like it had been, i did the same on my winXP machine and it is running at 85% as instructed.

i really dont want the win2000 machine at 99% though it has no other purpose, and seems OK, my $55 birthday present (from Me to Myself) has vast sentimental value.

Urban Peasant, you might want to try the Wcgrid_Max_CPU variable and put it either in user or all/global. You can find that in the System control panel....

It's well possible the Throttle tool has set the parameter in the register in a place where the agent has no knowledge about (user versus global level).

Here's the original read up of 2005: World Community Grid CPU Throttle Feature

Read it because i dont know if it also functions in W2K...only know its perfect for WinXp.
