Thanks, I will update the DLL.

For future refrence and searches, the error dialog box I see when first logging on looks like an Internet Explorer crash message. The text is:

Created under grands from the National Science Foundation number MCB-9458178, [etc etc etc, as if that's the name of the program]
If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost.
Please tell Microsoft about this problem.
We have created an error report that you can send to us. We will treat this report as confidential and anonymous.

[The error report is:]
Error signature
EventType: BEX P1: rosetta_4.22_windows_intelx86 P2: 4.22.0.0
P3: 43973a9e P4: dbghelp.dll P5: 5.1.2600.2180 P6: 4110969a
P7 P8 P9 [etc etc probably not important]


Further symptoms, since I'm seeing this a second time:
After login, Boinc manager loaded despite the error message.
Because only the service failed?
Both work units (dual core machine) were 100% finished.
Communications error?
Message log was complete.
First time I saw it, the log was cleared to the recent boot up.
18 hours earlier, it failed to pause its WUs for CPU benchmarking.
"request_reschedule_cpus" was last entry before todays bootup.
After boot, both WUs received unrecoverable errors with exit code 1282.
Then it claimed they were finished, uploaded them, and got more work.

So, my machine wasn't robust enough to auto-login like I told it to (odd) but Boinc seemed to resume activity once I logged in even though the error window was on screen (unlike UD which stops work with an error on screen?).

I assumed Boinc would auto-update itself like UD does. I'll check into that.

For your info BOINC versions up to 5.2.13 seemed to be having a few communication problems which you can find out about at
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php?platfo...n=5.2.13&type=win_new



Just to check, I hope you'll be updating the whole of the BOINC package, even though it is probably a bit of a pain in the neck to do as you have quite a number of PCs.

I don't know if you've seen it, but you can join a mailing list at url=http://www.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_announce]http://www.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_announce[/url] to be kept informed of BOINC updates, although I'm sure a lot of users would like the option of automatic updates.

I just updated 4 PCs to the BIONIC 5.2.13 client that all were running UD. 3 are fine but one is giving me problems like the posts above.

I've only gotten 2 good uploads from the one that's giving me problems. When it finishes it work unit it starts another and then waits for a while before uploading. I think when it starts the upload I get an error message that stops my BIONIC. The title of the popup is "Created under grants from the National Instutes of Health National Institue of General Medical Sciences grant numbers P01 GM48870 and R01 GM069832." It wants to tell Microsoft about the problem and send them an error report. I don't usually send those but I tried during one of the errors. I stopped it after 5 minutes of sending some huge report to Microsoft over a high speed connection. Any clues? At this point, I've switched that machine back to UD until I can find out what's going on.

I've turned it back on so I can verify the error message but I looked at it during one of the crashes and it showed nothing and it wasn't doing any work (verified via task manager)..... Hey! It just crashed as I'm writing this. The current status is "Computation Error" and the messages look like this...

It's now downloading a new work unit that will probably do the same.

I don't think BIONIC and this machine like each other!

Any ideas

My total paging file size for all drives is 1536 MB. I also have 1 GB of RAM.
