I just don't seem to be able to get any work. I keep getting a message that I've exceeded my daily quota of 1. I've no idea how I drove it down so low. I know there's a bit of a bottleneck right now but on checking, I see I haven't done any SETI work for months. Einstein and Rosetta appear to be working just fine. I've tried resetting the project and detatching and reattatching but it hasn't worked. I'm at a loss. ID: 641096 ·

For every good result you return, it increases by 2 (up to the 100/day maximum). We need to find out why you're returning bad results. In every one of your results I see Exit Code -1 (0x1): Incorrect function. Unfortunately, I don't know what it means. Perhaps if you can copy all your messages from your Messages tab here, it would provide some clues. ID: 641219 ·

For a while, I blamed it on the web filter (DansGuardian), but everything BOINC was on the white list. One computer has a quota of 2, and I haven't checked the others. We recently installed 5.10.13 (xp). We had a completely seperate problem before upgrading: BOINC wouldn't connect to the internet. Here's the messages for one of the computers. 10/4/2007 12:38:55 PM\|\|Starting BOINC client version 5.10.13 for windows_intelx86 10/4/2007 12:38:55 PM\|\|log flags: task, file_xfer, sched_ops 10/4/2007 12:38:55 PM\|\|Libraries: libcurl/7.16.1 OpenSSL/0.9.8e zlib/1.2.3 10/4/2007 12:38:55 PM\|\|Data directory: C:\\Program Files\\BOINC 10/4/2007 12:38:55 PM\|\|Processor: 2 GenuineIntel Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 2.80GHz [x86 Family 15 Model 4 Stepping 7] 10/4/2007 12:38:55 PM\|\|Processor features: fpu tsc sse sse2 mmx 10/4/2007 12:38:55 PM\|\|Memory: 502.07 MB physical, 1.20 GB virtual 10/4/2007 12:38:55 PM\|\|Disk: 74.45 GB total, 66.74 GB free 10/4/2007 12:38:55 PM\|\|Version change (5.10.20 -> 5.10.13) - I know, a downgrade.

When you attach to a project to process work units, that project needs to download its execution files. These programs are completely separate from what BOINC uses. You will find your project files download to a folder in ../BOINC/Projects. So you will need to be able to download .EXE and .DLL files from any project you attach to. SL ID: 654766 ·

Thanks, I'll have to check on the filter. If you can allow executables to pass through your filter if they come from particular sites, you can block the malicious stuff and still run BOINC.
