Hi.

Recently, my Boinc stoppd working. I\'m not an expert, so I couldn\'t figure out what\'s happening. These are my messages after I start, and then press \"update\" once.

Gregor,

It would appear that your computer had an error on both of the workunits that it downloaded yesterday.

CPDN limits each machine to downloading no more than 2 per day (to prevent computers that are having problems from downloading and \"tossing out\" dozens or perhaps even hundreds of model runs).

The first one appears to be the -161 error (that I am also having trouble with on one machine). I can\'t help you with the solution for that, since I don\'t think even the \'experts\' know what\'s causing it.

The second one gave \'exit code -2\' which has also happened to me after another WU errors out with a \'-161\'.

I had to reset the project (or detach/reattach) to stop it from happening continually. You may want to wait and see what happens with the next WU that it downloads, since resetting will cause it to throw out the other WU that you\'re working on.

Thanks for your help, Thunder. Looks like I\'ll have to reset then. It hasn\'t been working for a couple of days, so it seems unlikely to get back on track...

Anytime... Usually I\'m the one coming here desperately LOOKING for help. Glad I could finally answer something for someone.

Looks like you downloaded a regular slab unit yesterday, and it\'s not errored yet. Hope you\'re back on track now. :)
