Weeks pass and Climate seems stuck having done about 58 minutes. It shares with Seti which has loaded a new work for itself. I have just told Climate to reset. Should I have left it or done something else?

I have an AMD with gig of memory, windows 2000 professional, but use Firefox for web access. See screensaver \'Boinc is loading\' for a remakably long time when the computer is idle.

Think that I have told computer to do Boinc work even when it is in use as I am only word processing on the web.

Mike will probably add to this but this is your error:

exit code -1073741502 (0xc0000142)

There is information on this error in the Read Me posts at the top of the Windows page.

Just a hunch: With a relatively slow CPU, sharing it between two Projects, with regular switching between the two, as well as the Runs stopping for your use -- being swapped-out each time -- chances are that CPDN doesn\'t reach a Checkpoint and continually re-runs the same Time Steps.

Greetings from coastal Washington state, the scenic US Pacific Northwest.

Yes, you need to change your preferences, and possibly your computer \"on\" time.

Pausing task hadcm3ohe_20yl_05742895_0 (removed from memory)

So, every time you switch, you lose all of that work and have to start that lot again.

The problem with that being, both SETI and this project have a problem at present, where changes made to the preferences aren\'t getting sent back to the user\'s computer. This won\'t get fixed until the next version of the server software is installed.

But in the meantime there is a a fix, in the form of a local file which can be used to override the server settings. I think it\'s called global_preferences or something, but I don\'t know the options that go inside.

I did some things that might include that, it might now be better. What was puzzling me was Stagnation in Climate change and Seti flying. As I have been saying it is too late for Life to survive on this planet and we should have built a self sustaining High Frontier by now, I wonder if my computer understands and is setting its own priorities seeking to link up with a Galactic Internet.

and your advice led on to finding how to get this:
