BOINC "Work" shows that the calculation is finished 100% and (as far as can see) all files have been uploaded ("Transfers" is empty). Yet no new calculations is started, something which happened right away on similar occasions.

How can I kick BOINC into action again manually? Can't seem to find anything in the menus.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BOINC version 4.09 for windows intelx86
Windows 2000 5.00.2195 SP2
Intel P4 2.26 GHz

I'm not sure of the technical reason, but after the files have been transferred something extra
needs to be sent to say "I've finished". On multi-processor systems, this happens when the other
processor has reached "trickle time" and the computer is talking to the server.

BOINC / CP can be forced to talk immediately by clicking Update. This appears to be a necessity
in your case. I'm using BOINC 4.05, but it should be similsr in 4.09

Click 'Projects' tab
Right-click 'climateprediction.net'
Click 'Update'

Have you got a folder for your new model: 3r9q_100197070 ?

Also is it showing in the work tab?

Update to CCv4.13.

Restarting the client should be enough of a kick to get things going again. It is possible that the server is now set not to give new work to clients lower than 4.13.
