Three of my 'puters were disconnected for over a month (due to moving). Had some small problems getting them running smoothly again, but all are happily crunching now.

But 2 of them are showing strange things on the stats page of the local BOINC Manager: Each of them show one reporting point on January 1 2000 - with all other points stacked in a nearly vertical line on the far right edge of the screen.

I'm pretty sure I've seen this mentioned here before, but can't seem to find the fix.

Anyone?

TIA,
Roy

Is the system date correct on each of your PCs?

It is now - but it was messed up on each of those two boxes for a little while before I noticed.

I figured that was part of the cause - now I need to find a fix.

It's in the "statistics_setiathome.berkeley.edu.xml" file in the C:\\Program Files\\BOINC folder.

IIRC, there will be a -< daily statistics > listing that is out of sync with the others.

(a copy of one of my daily statistic entries)

- <daily_statistics>
<day>1185667200.000000</day>
<user_total_credit>298352.839761</user_total_credit>
<user_expavg_credit>990.921385</user_expavg_credit>
<host_total_credit>63540.403525</host_total_credit>
<host_expavg_credit>249.843050</host_expavg_credit>
</daily_statistics>

The <day> number on the offending entry will be out of sequence with the rest of the entries. Delete that entire Daily Statisic entry.

If someone else has any comments, feel free to make them, I'm writing this from memory and may have forgotten something (like shutting down BOINC before editing the XML file). ;)

It is now - but it was messed up on each of those two boxes for a little while before I noticed.

I figured that was part of the cause - now I need to find a fix.

The local stats file is called statistics_setiathome.berkeley.edu.xml for SETI and other projects have a similar file called statistics_name.of.project.xml these files are found in the BOINC folder.

I believe the dates are in the Unix time format http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time

Try looking for entries with bogus dates.

I have pasted the 7 most recent days from my SETI stats as an example of a working file:
