I keep getting this message: climateprediction.net - 2005-03-16 17:55:51 - Backing off 1 minutes and 38 seconds on transfer of file hadsm3data_4.10_windows_intelx86.zip It's been running smoothly in the background for a few weeks, but two or three days ago BOINC started trying to connect to the internet (I use a slow dialup connection) and kept giving me the above error message. I did a quick search, but couldn't see if anyone had any solutions. |

Looking at your results, it appears that your model crashed, and BOINC tried to get another. The new version of hadsm (4.10), is 'signed', but you're still using BOINC 4.19, which uses 'unsigned' files. The error messages (below), seem to indicate that the new hadsm files insist on a 'signed' version of BOINC. I didn't think BOINC 4.19 would cause a problem, but that's computers for you. :( ******************* {core_client_version}4.19{/core_client_version} {message}app_version download error: couldn't get input files: hadsm3_4.10_windows_intelx86.exe: signature verification failed {/message} {active_task_state}0{/active_task_state} {signal}0{/signal} ******************** SO: Suspend BOINC, Exit BOINC, Download the new BOINC 4.25 from <a href="http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php"> here,</a> uninstall the old version, (add/remove in Control Panel), and run the new version. It's a bit big at over 9Megs, and took me a while on my dialup, but you get there eventually. There's an ugly box to the left, but it works OK. And hadsm 4.10 has a new option in the Graphics: W (for World, I guess), which I really like. Les |

Thanks, I'm going to upgrade from Windows ME to Windows XP in a couple of days. I'll reinstall after the upgrade. |

Just so that it doesn't come as a surprise: after the change of OS, BOINC will see it as a different computer, and your new models will be recorded and credited as such. And don't forget to write down your account ID first! perhaps copy the email in plain text to a floppy. I like XP. It's nice and stable. As is BOINC 4.25, although I've only had that for 5 days.

> Thanks, > I'm going to upgrade from Windows ME to Windows XP in a couple of days. I'll > reinstall after the upgrade. Backup your whole BOINC folder and put it back when your Win XP box is ready. Or you can install BOINC afresh (with service/startup option or whatever suits your), but skip the attachement to the project and overwrite with backup. <i>phpBB forum for CPDN, all are </i><a href="http://www.climateprediction.net/board">invited</a> |

Is it absolutely necessary to remove 4.9? Isn't the process just like any other upgrade? |

If you only run CPDN, just stay with 4.19 until they get their signature bug done. Otherwise the 4.2x has more features (suspending single WUs and/or projects, better security through signatures, install as a service and remote controll for your farm and some other issues), but also some minor disadvantages (mostly on the GUI-design). > and XP is very stable, especially after SP2 installation. > PS: > I downloaded 4.19 and installed directly over the previous (4.10?) and it just > kept on going.

It's incompatible to the old one, and won't just update. Grüße vom Sänger |

If you unpack/run 4.25 while you have another version installed, it will tell you to uninstall it first, and then aborts. Leave everything where it is, (backup BOINC of course, to be sure, to be sure), and then the new version will tell you, (in Messages), that you are upgrading: ( Version Change Detected (4.05 -> 4.25); running CPU benchmarks ) Les |

You and Grube Vom Sanger have been very helpful. this whole exercise must be mundane and almost boring to the computer expert, but several of you (as indicated by the number of posts) are obviously essential to keeping the less proficient in the game, and thus you are invaluable to the process. Some of the frustrations would have some of us out of it long ago. Thanks again to you and all the other genii. |

> Les: thanks. You and Grube Vom Sanger have been very helpful. Don't mention it. But... Does your browser really says 'Grube vom Sanger'? ROFL It should read Grüße vom Sänger, with twice an umlaut (ä = ae, ü = ue), and an ß (sz), and the meaning is 'Greetings from Saenger'. Grube vom Sanger would mean Sanger's pit :))) Grüße vom Sänger |

Apologies for my ignorance of the language. Many years ago (1958)I had two very good friends from Bavaria, Willi und Margaret Kuemmel, who told me that I should learn to sprecken sie deutsch because I did well with what they tried on me. That never happened, and as you have found out I am thus somewhat diminished in my ability to communicate outside Canada. Willi was a miner, and a very good pastry chef. An unlikely combination, but he excelled at both trades. |
