Is anyone out there running the cpdn model on windows x64 (64 bit XP)? The server thinks that i am running Windows Server 2003 SP1. Will this make a difference?

I am having major problems with the stability of this program: the machine turns itself off after writing dataout files: it tried to write to the briefcase backup copy this morning. I am not overheating, and there is no error message, no memory dump, no blue screen of death, and the machine can be rebooted immediately.

Please would anyone who is successfully running this program on x64 reply to this query, so that i can eliminate OS problems?

I don\'t understand the \'it tried to write to the briefcase backup copy this morning\' comment, what did the system do?

Perhaps it may be an idea to change your backup method - I just copy the entire c:\\program files\\boinc folder in explorer.

Can\'t comment on Win64 myself since I don\'t use it, perhaps someone else can shed some light here.

Two of my A64 X2 4400+ machines have WinXP 64-bit. Together, they run four CM --> two ~60% and two ~56% completion. No problems; they look the same as those on the 32-bit XP.

I also get the \'2003 SP1\' notation for the 64-bit OSs.

*****************************

Before the machine crashed in this particular instance the last five files to be modified were in the briefcase copy, and the previous twenty were written to the master BOINC folder.All were written within 2 minutes of the system shutdown. This happened at 4.30 am when the machine was unoccupied. I have backed up cpdn, uninstalled BOINC, rebooted,updated graphics drivers (and, boy, was the system was hungry for them) defragged, reinstalled, chnged the backup method to a straight copy method. The model has been running for 22 hours since then, and the machine sounds happier. The running temps are lower too, but that could simply attributed to the end of that hot spell. Machine and model appear to be working together.

Sounds like things are working a lot better, do keep us updated :-)
