I am running Climate prediction and Predictor@Home. I suspended the climate task, because Predictor ran only 2 one-hour tasks at startup and never downloaded more tasks to use its alloted 50% of time, which it used to do. The first time I did this, Predictor did download and run another task, and I successfully resumed climate. When I tried to do this again, I could not resume the climate task. I updated the BOINC software from 4.43 to 5.2.13 with no change. The abort function is also inoperable.

Did you uninstall boinc 4.43? (I don\'t recall which version was the last for that requirement but I\'m suspicious of all 4.* versions.)

If not uninstalled first, you might have corrupt mix 4.43 & 5.2.13. If that is the case, it might be useful to use Win uninstall feature to remove 5.2.13. Re-install 4.43 and then uninstall it to clean-up the Folder. Then, re-install 5.2.13. Nothing in that exercise should harm your Work Units.

If not the case, what is shown on the Work (or Tasks) tab for Climate in Status window?

Best of luck.
