System crashed earlier while BOINC was running, processing a CPDN WU. Upon recovery, I found my system clock set to 2002, and BOINC now shows my CPDN WU with a Report Deadline of 12/13/1901. I know CPDN ignores the deadline, but is there a way to fix this, as it throws my system into EDF mode?

The cmos backup battery is probably flat, and the computer at one point reverted to the builtin default of 1901.
You need to find the time in client_state.xml and change it.
AFTER MAKING A BACKUP!

\"Time\" is mentioned in several places, and I think that you need to change it for each project.

How to do this was described somewhere by Thyme Lawn on the php board.

Knowing that CPDN ignores Report Deadline, is there any reason I need to fix this, other than not liking to look at the 1901 deadline?

I doubt it\'s my CMOS battery; the date was reset to 2002, not earlier.

I did a search on Time at the old php boards; nothing came up.

It only matters if you also run other, short projects, which DO enforce the deadline.

I\'m on a Core 2 Duo machine, and only run one other project at any given time, so CPDN has its own core 99%+ of the time.

Guess I\'ll just let it be for now.

Sorry, I meant to get back to this. :(
One of the threads is here. (I searched on cmos.)

Not quite what I \'remembered\', but there may be other threads.
