Workunits will time out once they go over there deadline & be resent to another host. |

Not unless there is some devine intervention. Don't sweat it, buddy. Happens often enough. Not much you can do when the hardware fails completely. You won't be able to remove the computer from your account until all work has been validated by somebody and is deleted by the servers from that computer's record...could take a looooooooong time.

There must have been some divine intervention... I managed to get the harddrive temporarily hooked up to another computer , and finally managed to get all the different drivers and stuff installed , am trying to get the wu's done now... I only have 2 more days to finish before my copy of xp runs out , since i moved it to a different computer... sigh ! |

There must have been some divine intervention... If you are going to keep that installation on that machine you can do a reactivation on it probably, but to reset the activation time to 30 days you can use the rundll32.exe syssetup,SetupOobeBnk command. So you have time to figure out what you will do. SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ |

My old computer crashed / Broke , I can't get the boinc / seti info to abort. It happens to my FreeBSD machine too. It was ok when I run boinc under root account. But yesterday i tried create a boinc login account and run boinc under boinc account. Don't know why this morning after shutdown and login again everything not working. Shutdown and re-login as root again only to find out that the whole boinc directory gone! missing! (there were 6 wu inside the projects folder!) |

I am gradually replacing all the FreeBSD 8 os to Solaris 10 and 11 express. On solaris, boinc can run under normal user account. But the only problem is that i can't turn off the laptop LCD screen when the laptop is crunching wu under Solaris 11 express. |
