I have recently completed a full model run and started a new model which updated from 4.04 to 4.12. I now occasionally get the message

"Instruction at "0x00d619d0" referenced memory at "0x00000300". the memory could not be "written" to."

The model stops running but instead of swapping to another BOINC application, it pauses until I manually exit and restart it. Is this a problem with 4.12 or just my version of it? as there has not been much of the new model done, would it be woth while detaching and re-attaching to to re-download the client?

Hi Ray
Detaching will lose your computer ID, and Attaching will give it a new ID.
And you have a nice low ID number at present. Best to Reset instead.


But not yet. Wait until some users have a look at your problem.
As I said in another thread, I am well into a 4.12 model with no problems. (Just short of 133 hours, 19%.)

Your HD may need de-fragging.
When you restart, does it continue with the same model number, or do you get a new one?

Oops, think I posted a blank reply there, sorry.

Thanks Les, but too late.
I detached and re-attached and got a new model. It does the same thing: error box which stops BOINC completely until manually exited and restarted. It then continues with the same model until stopping again after a couple of hours. I'm also running Einstein, Seti, LHC and Pirates so I don't want their time being wasted while CPDN is on strike.
This morning I updated BOINC to 4.25 to see if that will solve the problem. Don't like the useless blue area on the left so you can't see all of the messages, and the progress bar and pie-charts were prettier in 4.19 than bald numbers, but if it solves the problem I'll be happy.

Try 4.30 - the "useless blue area" is now white.

Done that. CPDN seems to be quite happy with this except for a couple of "exited with zero status but no 'finished' file" errors early on but other than that all is well. If they get the dial-up blockage sorted for the next release it'll be even better.
Still think the now white bit is too big.
