Hello Noy,
Welcome to the World Community Grid.
First question: What operating system does your computer use? Did you download BOINC or the United Devices client.

Second question: Which project are you running? FightAIDS@Home or Human Proteome Folding project?

I looked up your machine. Because you have a slower processor, and probably because you have happened to run into one of the more difficult genes being processed, the time between checkpoints can be rather long on your machine. The application saves its state every so often so that if you shut down and resume, it can resume from the last such checkpoint. Unfortunately, you are not leaving your machine on long enough to reach the next checkpoint. So, when you start the machine again, it is resuming from the last checkpoint (at 9%).

There are two solutions in this case. One is to just leave your machine on overnight or continuously and that should probably get it to the next checkpoint and beyond. The other less desireable solution would be to go to a new work unit and abandon the one your machine is working on, but it could happen on the next one too. To do this you would have to use your Task Manager to end the wcgrid_rosetta process. For an average device (about 1.8ghz currently on our grid) the maximum time between checkpoints is about one hour, but normally just a few minutes. Your machine is considerably slower so this time could be as long as 10 hours or even more if there is other activity on your computer. We hope to make enhancements some day which would let us send easier work units to slower machines like yours, but for now we have to live with this. Sorry.
