Hi. I'm at 41,37% of the running (BOINC client) and the "CPU time" stopped but the status says "Running". When I try "show graphic" nothing happens and when screensaver begins there's a sing telling me that there isn't anything to display. Also, if I exit BOINC and start it again, "CPU Time" advance a little and then it stops again.
What's wrong?

This is only a suggestion but take a look at the Processes running in task manager. If you see a process running that starts with the name "hadsm3..." then Boinc has not been shut down cleanly. Just rebooting your machine should resolve the problem.

It is often better to suspend then exit boinc. I've seen a message that boinc v4.13 will shut the clients down better, but I don't chance it.

When looking at the processes under taskmanager as suggested this will tell you if it is actually processing or not. There should be 2 occurances of hadsm..., one which is the model and the other I think the visualisation engine. Depending on your CPU CPDN could be running slowly &/or windows processes could be interfering.

Try suspending, exiting boinc & rebooting. this should either restart the model where it was or if it was in a crashed state it may rewind &/or upload. If other programs were hogging the CPU cycles then this could help also.

If you are still having this problem could you give us more information please.

Suspending, exiting, praying, asking kidnly, etc. didn't work. Only rebooting did.

Thanks!
