The window says that the primary task is executing and I saw it download but nothing is happening, still on 0% after 12 hours.
I tried uninstalling and re downloading the program but it didn't help, still got the same problem (seems to be frozen). What should I do?? |

Hello Leslee Russell,
Are you running UD or BOINC? What security software do you have on your system? What does Task Manager say is the utilization figure? mycrofth |

Sorry you have totally lost me. what is UD/BOINC and where do I find the Task Manager utilization figure?
The only part I understood was the security software which is Panda Platinum 2006 Thanks for the prompt reply though. Lee |

Leslee --
The applications we are running under the UD Agent are the Human Proteome Folding application (WCGrid_Rosetta.exe) and FightingAIDS@HOME (WCGrid_Docking.exe). Each of these applications is set to run at the priority of the idle task, or, in other words, they will get processor cycles only when no other task needs them. Usually this will mean that they will get between 90 and 100 % because the work we run on our systems usually does not require that much processing power. If you are seeing the CPU utilization down in the 5-10 % range, something else is running away with your system. You can look through the list on Task Manager to see what it might be. Often, spyware will be found to be the culprit. You may wish to clean the spyware off of your system using one of the anti-spyware programs listed in the FAQ Useful Utilities. If cleaning the spyware off your system does not work for you, what processes do you see using a lot of CPU cycles? Perhaps we can identify what the problem is through that. Best regards, |

Hello Leslee Russell,
Panda Antivirus causes the WCG UD agent to pause before executing. Here is the list of antivirus problems: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=1804#10050 Here is a post about Panda (without listing a solution): http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=1410#6900 And here is a quote from that post, still relevant today: Does anybody know of a way to tell this program how to ignore World Community Grid programs? mycrofth |
