I keep receiving the messages listed below. I have no work units for any of the different projects. I added 2 projects to see if I would get any work units and have received none. Two other projects (not listed) return that no work is available. I am running XP pro on a Dell latitude. I have 6 G available disk space. I have upgraded to the latest BOINC release. I have reset every project and have detached and reattached to the ones listed below. Lastly, this behavior does not occur on 2 other identical machines.

Explanation? Advice to correct?

thanks LouB

Check the machine in question at the projects. It'll show on the taskIDs what's wrong. BOINC won't allow for run-away PCs which download and trash lots of work. By trashing we then mean get it, do essentially nothing with it (as whatever is wrong, your work will err immediately) and return it.

For each task that errs, your quota (amount of tasks allowed per CPU per 24 hours) will go down by one. Some of the projects you allowed have quota of thousands, which shows that there's really something very wrong with this PC.

You can only correct it by correcting whatever is making the work err. A reboot is required? A driver that failed? Broken hardware? We don't know, not without a link to any of the hostIDs where it'll show on the taskIDs in the stderr.txt what error message BOINC or the science applications sent back.

After you corrected whatever is making it err, a quotum will go up quickly, usually by doubling the amount: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 etc. on each task that's sent back correctly.

Hi Loubedor

I think these are your CPDN computers:

If you can tell us which computer(s) are having work fetch problems, perhaps we can work out why in the case of this project.
