I just finished a 67 hour work unit crunch and was sent a new work unit. Since then I have had 4 resets in the last 8 hours. The units seem to upload after about 1% to 2% then download the same work unit or a fresh one.
I completed 4 days 17 hours crunching without a problem now things seem to have gone haywire. I usuall leave a connection to the internet open, although I had to reboot this morning and forgot to re initialize an internet connection and a large work unit completed and was unable to upload the results. I started a connection and was able to upload it successfully but i have had problems ever since. Does anyone have a solution short or re-installing the program |

I doubt that reinstalling would help. A lot of people are having problems. I'm just waiting for the programmers to come back from their long, fun weekend to see if anything changes.
It seems to me that IBM or the university needs to pour more resources into this project or an awful lot of CPUs are going to be disappearing... |

Having the same trouble. Leave my PC yesterday evening with 2.4% and 1h36m CPU Time. This morning I look at the WCG Agent and it shows 0.8% and 0h48m CPU Time. No points were gained - so this is the same task. Will this last forever???

Exactly the same problem here. First three packets went smoothly. Now it keeps resetting at around 2%, and it has done so a couple of times already.

I'm also having the same trouble he for the last 4 days. It run pretty ok for 2 units and then the problem appear. I know the program will upgrade automaticaly, but only after sending a workunit, or in this case, I'm not sure it will complete the workunit by the end of the month....

I have noticed that the last agent upgrade *may* have caused this problem.
The upgrade included code that enables the agent to go into hybernation when laptops are disconnected from AC power. This feature was not implemented 2 days ago... and I had not had this problem. Otherwise the server may be allocating inderterminate data sets...ones that cannot be completed - as suggested in another forum thread. I am sure they are onto these problems and will release a major upgrade considering the number of members putting forward their frustrations... |

I am having similar problems too after finishing my first work unit. It is continually resetting when i reaches 2 to 3%.
Hope the tech support fixes this problem soon. Else I think many people will migrate out of this cos it is a waste of time and resources.  |

I first downloaded the software on two machines on the network the day the news was first released. The two machines have been running 24 hours a day, since the original download, with a full time cable connection. I had set the priority on my taskmanager for all the running components up to "above average" however after the 2nd completed (and recorded) completion, my win2Kpro system blue screened twice.
I eventually uninstalled, then reinstalled the software. I have been running the program again without altering the taskmanager priority, and the software has continuted to run "normally" without killing the system, however....... My first original installation was on " Tue Nov 16 18:47:55 GMT 2004 ", the machine has run the program full time since then, however since my last reported update on the system " 11/22/2004 06:00:02 " I have only had " 0:004:01:25:04 " of reported CPU time on 1 machine (there are two reporting). This only reflects 7 days of processor time on two machines or 14 X 24 hours or 336 actual hours of processor time, with only 96 hours being utilized by the WCG...... What I have seen happen . . . * system will download a project, start to run the project, then without indicating an upload, download a project and start over with only 0.8% +/- completed * system has only recorded 3 results from 1 machine, when there have been 2 machines that I have seen download at least 15+ projects. * Points have stalled at the 3 results, even thought regularly more and more projects have restarted. Ok enough rambling for the morning, I look forward to finding some resolution to these problems. If I can help with Beta testing or in any other way, Please do not hessitate to contact me at brewsmith@yahoo.com . Im afraid the next time I witness these machines wasting the CPU time again without adding to the overall scores, im going to have to discontinue allowing WCG's access to the processor time.
