Climate Prediction
I have run several work units of Climate Prediction and for some reason it stopped on its own without any reason. After stopping it then calls for another download. I look up my account and gives a reason of \"UNKOWN\".
Am I spinning my wheels for no reason? If the system terminates on its own without finishing, twice now, what exactly have I accomplished?
I am becoming very disillusioned.

You are indeed, at the moment, \"spinning your wheels\".

There is this model: hadcm3ohe_1a91_05708279_0
which failed due to: exit code -1
hadcm3ohc_182q_05605481_1which also failed due to: exit code -1
hadcm3ohc_2802_05652041_1which, again, failed due to: exit code -1
and the latest:
hadcm3lbm_9qft_25223436_0, which looks a bit like a hard disk access problem.

Exit error 1 can be a couple of things:
1) a display problem, caused, perhaps by running a game, or video editing, etc, while BOINC is running, and
2) Shutting down Windows without first Exiting from the BOINC manager.
This is a bit like jumping out of a car while it\'s still moving; something\'s going to get damaged.
Windows only gives programs about 20 seconds to close down, so if you have a lot of things running, BOINC sometimes doesn\'t have enough time to shut down all of the files.

\"Unknown\" just means that the server hasn\'t heard from that model, so it doesn\'t know what is happening to it.
