For the past two days my graphic is not working properly. Before, when I clicked on the \"Show Graphics\", or when my screen saver came up, the globe was rotating and the \"Model Date\" was counting up. For the past two days the globe justs sits there and the \"Model Date\" jumps to a new time period after approx. 6 minutes. What is happening and how do I correct it so \"my world turns\" again? Thanks in advance!

I wonder if there has been a benchmark failure:

Does a reboot help?

Could you perhaps have started the graphics record functionality accidentally? If so, it is saving a graphic for each timestep, and this greatly slows down the graphics display. You would see a whole bunch of files in the

BOINC/projects/climateprediction.net/\"experimentname\"/tmp

folder with .cpdn extensions. If this is what is occurring, exit BOINC, delete all files in that tmp folder with the .cpdn extension (leave the other three or four files which are needed), then restart BOINC.
