Downloaded a new unit and started running

climateprediction.net - 2004-09-01 20:37:56 - Resuming computation for result 06gx_000033405_0 using hadsm3 version 4.03

And within a few seconds I get a windows
\"Visual Fortran run-time error\"
forrtl: severe (17): syntax error in NAMELIST input, unit 57, file (...unit path...)

Any Idea...

There seems to be a number of folk encountering Visual Fortran runtime erorrs. The guy with the HP machine who removed a bunch of the bundled software from his machine has probably stumbled on the problem - DLL conflicts between the CPDN app and a previously installed Visual Fortran application on the users machine.

I can guarantee there were no previously installed Visual Fortran applications on the W2K Adv Server that I installed BOINC/CP on, no third party (Dell, HP) bloat-ware.

Have a look at <a href="http://www.climateprediction.net/board/viewtopic.php?t=2296&amp;p=19923#19923">this post</a> from Carl in the phpBB forum (he's in Berlin and can't post to this board).

Somehow one of the model input files is corrupt.
Its unlikely to happen again unless there's an external process causing this
Try resetting the project.

Not much of an answer in that thread for me I am afraid. I run a Dell with an Intel P2 550 MHz processor. Windows 2000 Pro loaded from an MSDN Universal package (not the version shipped with the machine), patched with all the latest service packs and patches. McAfee Virus Scan Enterprise 7.0.0 that haven't caused any problems for me in the past (I develop software for a living). I have tried with McAfee enabled and disabled to no avail. There are zero download problems. It takes about 90 seconds to download and start computing a set, and just a handful of seconds after that before I get a Visual Fortran run-time error (17) message.

I have tried to see if any messages are posted to the debug port by the software, but it is completely quite. I have however taken a snapshot of the DLL's loaded by the processes with version numbers, load-address, size and date stamps. Perhaps it will help some. If anyone wants them, let me know. For the moment I am detaching from the climateprediction project until you get your software straight enough to work without interrupting me with silly message boxes. Doesn't Visual Fortran support exceptions!?
