Hi.

Well, the title almost says it all. I have two other WUs (0% and suspended). They are listed fine. The active, crashed one, is not listed anymore.

I invetigated a little bit and found that the two listed WUs are also represented with some files in two dirs below the \'slots\' dir of BOINC. The lost WU isn\'t. Maybe that\'s the reason? The WU data below projects\\climateprdiction.net\\someLongName is still there, however.

Any chance to get this WU back? My machine invested quite some CPU cycles already...

I use BOINC 4.45.

TIA
~Thomas

The only way to recover a crashed model, is from a backup made before the crash.

Sulphur models are now obsolete, except for a few still finishing up. It\'s just not worth the time and electricity to start any that you\'ve had \'sitting around\'.

And you\'ll need to use Windows Uninstall to remove the old 4.45 version of BOINC, and then install the new 5.* version. (Currently at 5.2.13)
The new models won\'t even download with earlier versions.
