Hello,
I am having issues where my BOINC will start running my Climate Prediction model, but nothing happens. The time to completion clock does not count down like it does with my other BOINC projects: (SETI,Einstein,LHC,Protein Predictor,and BURP) The CP graphic/screensaver is just a black blank box for a long time and then eventually it will show the spinning globe in the graphics box, but it says "model hasn't started. Please wait..." CPU Time 0000:00:00 (0.00 s/TS)
In my BOINC Manager, for Climate Predictor for application I have hadsm3 4.13, model name is 2heu_000137051_0 And I show 112.01 Mb of work on my hard drive, I have 385:27:47 time to completion, but my CPU time is --- and my progress shows 0.00% My report deadline is 07/30/2006 12:32:54 and it says it's "running". I have it set to run for 2 hours at a time in my prefs and at the end of the two hours nothing has changed. I am not having any problems running any of the other Boinc projects. I understand a CP model takes a long time to run but I really don't think my model actually is starting at all. I have even tried suspending all the other BOINC projects for a while with the same results.
I am running BOINC version 4.44 on a 1 year old eMachines T2825 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2800+ 2.09 GHz, with 448MB (512MB)of RAM Using Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Ver. 2002 with Service Pack 2 installed as OS With 2 120 Gig HDDs
Can anybody offer me any help???
Thank you in advance, -=LadyzGuy=-

P.S. I have edited this post to say an error message just popped up on my screen a few ago, something about "Visual Fortran Run-Time Error" I have a screenshot but don't know how to include it here... If anybody is interested in seeing it let me know and I will e-mail it to you (unless somebody can explain how to add it here)

Looks like a large number of "-5" errors as listed on this page, with less than a minute CPU time for each result that errored out.

You may want to run the hardware checks at <a href="http://www.climateprediction.net/board/viewtopic.php?t=2126">this link</a> to make sure it is not some hardware fault.

I just wanted to post and let you know I thank you for your reply to my question. I have ran ScanDisk with no errors, I have installed and ran SuperPI's 32M test and it ran off in about 2 1/2 hours with no errors. I have also used Norton's Works Suite 2005 tools to clean out my files and run diagnostics with no errors. (other than a few temp files needed deleting) I also use Cox Communication's (my ISP) Security Suite which includes Spyware,Adware and Virus Scan. I use ALWIL Softwares Avast! Home Version 4.6 anti virus as well as Spybot S&amp;D. I installed PanteraSofts Hard Drive Monitoring program (HDD Health ver. 2.1 BETA) It showed me that my Hard drives are running a little on the hot side (Temp) and I will be taking steps soon to correct that. My System is not altered in any way with the exception of having 2 larger HDD's installed. My processor is stock and is not overclocked in any way. When I run benchmark tests my processer usually exceeds it's stated performace values. I have also used PC Pitstops full test suite with no problems and always score above average for my processor/system class with no real errors (all checkered flags) MY home voltage is usually on the high side of the standard.(usually in the 123 to 127 VAC range - so no undervoltage issues) I run regular system maintenence on almost a daily basis (defrag, virus scan, clearing caches and temp files, spyware scans, etc.) I'm still stumped as to why I cannot run Climate Prediction when I can run just any thing else I throw at it. Can you explain to me what your post meant in a little more detail please? Are those the results of my account/host??

I will run some more of the tests your link offers in the near future and let you know what I find out. Thank You once again for taking the time to try to help me solve this problem I'm having. At this point I'm about ready to just uninstall CP and give up....

P.S. Oh yeah I almost forgot that in order to even get CP to run (load and attempt to run I mean) at this point is to shut the other BOINC projects down and force it to run.
