If you are at 82% then you are getting there. All the Work Units that I have heard of failing to converge failed before they reached 10% or so. Anybody reading this post with different experience?

alright, im a bit mad now...
it got to one hundred percent, but i had to reinstall windows. all the files were left alone, becauce it only touched the files in the WINDOWS folder.
but now when i goto profile manager, i dont see any there!
i still see the name in my client, but i dont think it sent right either....

do i have to reinstall the client now?

alright, it seems to have given me my points now, so i guess that it sent alright.

thanks for everyones help! ill stick around and try to help others that have problems

This computer is REALLY going to be slow processing ANY work. Rosetta itself takes ~300MB of virtual memory, so not only is the CPU slow, you'll be paging on top of that which will slow you down even more.

You'll be able to contribute, but it probably won't finish even the easiest workunits in under a week. Harder ones might take 3 or more weeks.

One thing you can do to help it is by changing the screen saver to something that doesn't take much CPU time, like the blank screensaver. As long as the agent is NOT set to run only as a screensaver, this will help a little.

Workunits vary quite a bit in the time it takes to complete them, as you have noticed.
