Since a few days I do not get additional work, the message is: not enough disk space allocated.
What shall I do?

It depends on the size of your hard drive/partitions and how much free space you have on the drive you installed boinc on.

How big is your drive and how much free space do you have on it?

If you have a 40 GB drive, for example, and 10 GB are used by Windows and programs, then 5 GB, 10 GB, 20% would work fine. So would a lot of other combinations of those three. If you are not sure, and your drive is not too small, try 3 GB, 5 GB, 40%. You can see in particular how the percent figure depends greatly on the size of your drive.

Remember, after you change the preferences, you have to do a project update from the boinc gui for boinc to recognize it.

>minimum numbers

Each model takes around 700MB which is compressed to about 330MB when the model finishes. A bit of room for the program. It may just about work with 0.7 but you would have to be very careful to promtly delete (or preferably save elsewhere) completed runs so I don't really recommend less than 1GB per processor (counting hyperthreaded processor as 2 if enabled) - preferably 2GB or more so you don't have to watch it carefully.

I tend to think that Windows can start to run into problems if there is less hard disk space than the amount of ram - preferably set to at least 2 * ram.

1% of total space could be ok with a 100GB C drive. More is needed for smaller drives. Again it is preferable to leave quite a bit more.

In summary
If hard disk space is tight try to make sure all three are consistent with allowing at least a GB per processor. If there is enough free space try to be rather more generous than that to avoid problems with lack of space when/if completed models start stacking up.

I think the main reason you're run out of disk space is the 92 failed models that you have attempted to process. These will be taking up space.

And you won't be able to get anywhere until you solve your computer problem, which consists mostly of:
[message] - exit code -1073741819 (0xc0000005)

with a few -5 error codes on other models.

The cause of the first error code hasn't been worked out yet, but in your case it may be the slow cpu speed, which hints at an older computer which just isn't capable of handling the cpu intensive work of this project.

The recommended minimum speed is 800MHz,and even this is slow for the very long processing of a model.
