And another thing that boinc appears to have \'fixed\' (it wasn\'t broken before boinc came along): Twice now when rebooting a \'doze box, something I still feel the need to do every week or so as it speeds up the graphics a *lot*, explorer doesn\'t act so flakey (for a while), etc, boinc has trashed the current model and d/led a new one, creating a new account (in the boinc window anyway) at the same time. In all cases I have just detached the new (phantom, no account name) account and allowed the new model to continue (don\'t have much choice, the old model is lorst and gorn forever).
I am wondering about the number of fractionally completed models that I am collecting...
Cheers,

How do you reboot? Do you stop BOINC before you reboot? For it could well be you're doing some disk-action at the time you reboot.

No didn't stop, just start/turn off computer/restart, but would hope that when boinc (and every other running program) got the global shutdown message from 'doze it would do so elegantly. Might have to start manually shutting down boinc for such occasions. Funny, it wasn't a problem in classic CPDN.

The local power company decided to have an unannounced outage that upon PC restart has left my climate prediction program sitting at 99+ hours, it says that it is running, but I havn't seen the CPU time move or have I seen S@H get any cycles since then. I hate to reset the project, but I don't see any alternative. Does anyone have any ideas?

Sounds like the outage came just as a critical state file was being updated, RogerB. Sometimes BOINC will automatically error your running models, upload them and get new work. But this time it hasn't even managed that :(

Unless you have a recent full backup of your BOINC directory your only option is going to be project resets for CPDN and S@H.

If it is not already too late, you might try renaming client_state.xml to client_state.new. Then rename client_state.old as client_state.xml. Then start BOINC.

Thanks, I've already reset the projects, I'll try your suggestion next time they stall.
