Although I was seriously chided, insulted, degraded and e-spat upon when I made this announcement on the BOINC beta test site; I am bound and determined to do it again!

Just currious as to what caused this? I am not a computer engineer by any means so this confuses me a bit. What could have caused this? A bad transmission (bad checksum)? An -actual- computer error?

Any input?

SETI@home - 2004-07-08 23:34:55 - Unrecoverable error for result 01ja04aa.15209.31730.92334.170_2 (Output file error: -1)

I seem to be CONSTANTLY having to merge my computer listings.

Currently I am running the following:

23310 jeremy 46.90 603.79 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.60GHz Pentium Microsoft Windows XP Professional Edition, Service Pack 1, (05.01.2600.00)

50873 robert 17.45 304.27 AMD Athlon(tm) XP qzsossor Pentium Microsoft Windows XP Professional Edition, (05.01.2600.00)

Issue #1: As you can see the host 50873 is being reported strangely... I have no idea what a "qzsossor" is, but I know I don't have one.
Issue #2: Host 50873 robert keeps getting duplicated on my computer list. I'll merge them together, go to work - come home and ++POOF++ it is split again. What gives? What causes this? How do I prevent it?
Issue #3: This may just be a coincidence, however I RARELY am able to get both computers to download WUs at the same time. When one is able to get some, the other isn’t. Why?

Thanks for any help you can provide on this.

I'm a dumb-ass - should have selected "newest questions first" and I would have seen the other messages about the same thing. Thanks for the answer...I'll be more careful to look around before posting next time.

> Wow! You got one of those processors? ;-)

Yeah - built it meself from vacuum tubes and telephone wires. Couldn't figure out what to call it so I went with that. Odd name huh? Don't know why it shows up as that...very strange.

Ok - I just added the other computer on my home network to my SAH Boinc account. When I went to view the computer thru Boinc the description of its processor is -for lack of a better word- "mangled."

Take a look at what it shows for the CPU type...anyone else experience this? Is there a prob on my end or does BOINC just not recognize this kind of AMD?

12) Questions and Answers : Wish list : Better screen saver graphics (Message 1208)
Posted 24 Jun 2004 by Profile Jeremy McGowan
Post:
Folks,

Issue #1)
The screen saver isn't perfect - however from a functionality stand-point it is 1000 times better than the SAH Classic version. A screensaver is designed to prevent a -static- image from being burned into your monitor. Granted with the higher number of LCD monitors, this is no longer a problem - but with the older CRT style and even more so with the new Plasma ones a static image WILL burn into your screen. The movement of the graphics helps to prevent this.

Issue #2)
SAH runs MUCH faster when your CPU isn't trying to display the graphics on the screen. Simply set your screensaver to come on after 15 min of inactivity then to go to a blank screen after 30. This way, you get the "pretty pictures" for 15 minutes then your computer can devote all its power to number crunching.
