I have not had a result get credit since April, but I\'ve had almost 20 results returned with a client error. My other boinc clients are working fine. I\'m running boinc v4.45. How can I fix this? Thanks, and sorry again for mistake.

Only 20 Hmm. I would have expected at least 1 per day or for your models to get far enough to trickle - I wonder if you may have more than one problem.

The hostid may be useful.

Have you tried any <a href="http://www.climateprediction.net/board/viewtopic.php?t=2126">stability tests</a>?

Another possibility is problems with anti-virus software. See http://www.climateprediction.net/board/viewtopic.php?t=2895

Tracing through from the results that have trickled I found host ids <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/show_host_detail.php?hostid=136233">136233</a> and <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/show_host_detail.php?hostid=89294">89294</a>. Both are Athlon Win 2K systems with only 128MB memory, so there's almost certainly going to be a lot of swapping going on. CPDN has an upper limit of 60MB and has a constant requirement for about 45MB.

Typically, I've only had a 10% to 15% share for CPDN, I use this as my backup project in case Seti goes down. Both host id's are from the same machine. I had to do a full reinstall of Winbloz a while back.

Now I gest new workunits ... now error -5. Have yet 2 spare units in queue, if they will fail then abandon this project.

Hi Conan,

I see you're running Windows 98SE. Unfortunately CPDN has serious compatability problems with that operating system and NT4. The problems are unlikely to be resolved in the near future (if at all).

Yeah! Thanks for this answer ... I saw after posting stick from admins about this problem. I got archived classic client and will continue good old work ;)
Happy crunching
