I recently plugged in this computer. It produces in my opinion an abnormal amount of invalids. Could this be diagnosed? I'm using the optimized apps from Lunatics 0.43b installer. |

All of those Invalids are the result of a batch of faulty WUs being released. They were effectively v6 WUs, and we're now running v7, so they failed. 90% of your current Inconclusives will also, eventually, become Invalid. The number of the faulty WUs still around has decreased significantly over the last week or so, but there are still quite a few about & it will take a couple of months to get rid of all of them. Even so, over the next few weeks you'll have to be pretty unlucky to get more than the odd couple of them in a day (if that many). Grant Darwin NT |

That clears things up. Thanks! |
