I have a dual CPU PC running 100% CP. I had two WU that were just about to finish. I let one finish using BOINC 4.25. This WU was uploaded and creditted.
Then I backed-up the entire BOINC directory and installed BOINC 4.32.

The second WU was due to finish in about 30 minutes. I returned 2 hours later to see that it had status of "Running", progress of 100.00% and to completion of "---.--". Strangely, the CPU time kept incrementing, as if it was doing work. Task Manager confirmed that the WU was consuming CPU as if it were running.

I tried to update the project, but nothing was sent.

I exitted BOINC Manager, waited a bit and restarted BOINC. Now it is reporting that progress on the WU is ZERO and that it will be completed in a few months time!!!

Can I upload the result file somewhere (and get the big credit?)
Should I restore the backup and run from there, or will this trigger an error at the scheduler that locks the WU?

How many WUs do you have listed in your Work tab (if that is what it's called in 4.3x)? You should have 3 if what you say above is correct. If all you have is two, I'm not sure what's up.

If you have 3, I would restore the backup, run it to completion, and hope that it uploads the results files.

It looks like you already have the maximum credits possible from that work unit as all 72 trickles are listed and 6800 some credits. There is no bonus at the end, except sometimes by accident which gets corrected on the next stats update. Good luck.

Yes, I have three WU: 1 "Completed" but running, 1 running, 1 ready.

re: stats... I went from 23000 credits with RAC 190(see signature) to 33598.69 w/ RAC 1202.55 according to BOINC Manager and CPDN website! Looks like a correction is on its way.

UPDATE 22:45 Canberra EST: The backup worked. I was able to complete the WU and upload it.
I then upgraded (actually, it was a repair) to 4.32 and the two WU that had been downloaded picked up from where they had just stopped.

I suspect that the client hung just at the point of the upload and corrupted the result.

Update 22:51: Boo-hoo. My stats dropped to 23591.57. Somehow, my dual CPU PC appears twice and I received 10,277 credit on 16 April 2005. That's going to difficult to explain, aside the 283, 95 and 187. :)

Lesson learned: Backup at least your projects before an upgrade.
