I installed SP2 and it still happens. I run E@H too but I had it cut off from workunits so it wasn't running. I have Symantec A/V , AdAware, and SpyBot Search&Destroy. All report no problems. I also have a ZoneAlarm firewall.

The problem is in boincmgr.exe
If I kill that task and just let boinc.exe and S@H run, the memory leak doesn't
happen.

Memory Leak in Boinc 5.2.13 ?

It seems so on my home computer:
Dell Computer Corporation Dimension 2400
Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 1 (build 2600)
2.40 gigahertz Intel Celeron
8 kilobyte primary memory cache
128 kilobyte secondary memory cache
512MB memory

And I think it started when I downloaded 5.2.13 but I would have to fire up the
"Way Back Machine" to be sure. I have 5.2.13 installed on another laptop
running XP Pro and I do not see this problem.

Left to run for a while, my home computer runs out of paging space as seen by
the Windows Task Manager. For example, running S@H and E@H:

3:45pm 245MB used
4:25 286MB used
9:00pm 528MB used
-killed boinc- 514MB used
-started boinc- 535MB used - suspended S@H and just let E@H run
10pm 590MB used - E@H only
10:22 621MB used
-suspend E@H- - only boinc running - no applications
10:45pm 639MB used
10:52pm 689MB used
-rebooted- no boinc running at all
10:55pm 202MB used
11:10pm 187MB used
-left it on all night-
9:00am 183MB used - it sure looks like boinc has a memory leak
-start boinc only - no S@H or E@H (they are suspended)
9:02am 191MB used
- here's an interesting bit of info-
Quiescent boinc (both projects suspended) appears to increase the paging space used
at the rate of 1MB every 45 seconds.

Whoa....lighten up....
You don't like what we do? So why go way out of your way to tell us so?
Take your "compute power" and go somewhere else. What makes you think that your cycles are special?

I finally uploaded all my WUs and actually received 3 or 4 downloads. I just rebooted and they are gone!
Nothing showing up for S@H - my E@H is OK...
No error message..they're just gone... One was processing and I actually brought up the graphics for it.

Ooooo...weird....

I was a classic user since 1999. I'm running BOINC without problems.
Dell Computer. WinXP home.
What's your problem? Did you look it up in all the info available to you?

Yes - you can't upload and you wonder where your credit is...
Don't you ever read the news on the seti@home page? They are having problems right now so deal with it or stop participating and go whine elsewhere.
It will all work out - just give it time. I know your computer is sitting idle and wasting all those cycles so it's time to raise hell about that 'cuz you are pissed.
Get a life...!

I'm not sure what it is. The HD light stays on even if I stop boinc. In fact, I kill every app and task in sight but it still keeps going. It never happened until a few months ago. The task manager shows no activity other than the idle task.. I'll bite the bullet and upgrade to SP2 I guess.... Anything is worth a try now.

I've been plagued with a problem for the past couple months. After a day or so, the disk light comes on and stays on. I have to press and hold the power button to get it to shutdown. I've updated boinc a couple times.
I was using firefox so I tried Internet Exploder but that didn't change anything.

I'm currently on boinc 5.2.13
Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 1 (build 2600)
2.40 gigahertz Intel Celeron
8 kilobyte primary memory cache
128 kilobyte secondary memory cache
Dell Computer Corporation Dimension 2400
512MB memory
Zonelabs firewall. Symantec A/V. Cable modem.
Running seti only (run always)

I have an office machine running XP Professional. No problems there.

Is anybody else seeing this?

Will it just stop serving WUs but stay up to receive the outstanding ones as they trickle in?

The latest download problems always have the same symptom. size=x/y. Y always varies but x is always the same = .28
and then it quits and waits for the next try.
======================
Also, I have noticed on my seti classic (AIX) machines, that the upoloads sometime fail (but not frequently...). When I start it again, I get an error
message saying "attempt to upload duplicate result". It usually takes off and
runs from that though.

All the upload failures start and make a connection.
They show x/y in the file size. y is always different
but x is always .28
