The past few days I've been seeing a message saying;

wu-xyx exited with a dll intitalization error. If this happens repeatedly you may want to reboot your computer.

And then under that the wu starts up again.

Any ideas? I've tried to find error logs and can't. This is on XP SP2

Have you updated your BOINC installation recently?

The is a fairly new message, introduced with BOINC v5.10.30: it's not really an error message at all, more like a warning signal. I think it's an attempt to work round the Vista 'fast shutdown' "feature", but obviously the message is there for Win XP users too.

The old wording used to suggest you consider resetting the BOINC project, but don't do that, whatever you do! Rebooting the computer is much safer. I suggest you just keep an eye on things, but leave it alone for now. Let us know what else you see.

I'd just recently upgraded to the 45 version.... Noticed some other error messages that started popping up in windows today and now I'm thinking it may be from somewhere else. Will keep an eye on it.

Thanks for the reply so soon.

I've been getting errors occasionaly from my wireless software and it might have to do with Boinc loadign before my wireless connection is established.

Each time I restart BOINC, whether with a new boot or not, the first time BOINCmgr contacts the project I get that message once for each in-process result, whether it is actively computing, or paused for another.

It really does stop them--I can tell that Einstein in particular goes through it unproductive initial period of massive I/O on restart. It appears to restart from the latest checkpoint, and run to completion successfully.

I'm on 5.10.30. I'm on XP SP2

I get it routinely on my XP SP2 machine whenever I am running something graphics intensive or CPU intensive. Nowadays, when I run anything like that, I just shut down BOINC beforehand.

I'm running XP SP3 on an AMD 2600+ and I get this message quite randomly when crunching BOINC projects.

I get this message on each project, seti and einstein. I got it when running Vista 64b and, now, running Vista 64b SP1. The log shows this message whenever backup is running. The shadow copy/backup process runs on my machines in the early morning hours and reproducibly produces the error. Every morning.

I posted a note on the boinc board about it and got some boilerplate in reply. I'll check to see if anything substantive was added since I looked last.

Oh, yes, I'm running boinc 5.10.30. But I think it was happening when I was running the previous boinc, as well.

Here is the boinc/board I referred to: DLL Init...

I get it on any project and I am now on 5.10.45.
