My computer was having trouble with its integrated network card, so I replaced the motherboard. Boinc has rescheduled the deadline for my climateprediction.net task from 12/13/2007 3:45:52 PM to 12/13/1901 3:45:52 PM. Will this correct itself on the next trickle-up? Or is this work-unit now expired and worthless?

Not worthless, and no the date will not fix itself. There is a way to go in and fix the file, but if CPDN is the only work you do, let it go.

Do you still get credits from it? This just happened to me too. I was having disk space problems, so I tried to move my BOINC install from one partition to another, and it now shows 1901 as well. Rats. If anyone knows of a way to fix this, I would sure appreciate it.

As long as you\'re only running one project, then you can simply ignore this (it\'s harmless). However if you\'re running multiple projects, it will interfere with scheduling and work fetch. In that case, you can (with care) edit the various XML files to reset the dates - I don\'t have a link to the instructions, but they\'ll be on this forum somewhere.

Hi Mike, thank you for the response. I searched for \"1901\" and \"XML\" - neither seemed to return instructions for hard setting the deadline - although XML returned lots of other interesting info.

I do run other projects, so if anyone else reads this and can let me know which XML files I need to play with, please let me know. Thanks.

Sorry for the trouble,

Perfect, thanks!!

Just following up to say that this worked perfectly. Opened one of my backups, edited the client_state.xml file, copied the <report_deadline> values and pasted them into the current running client_state.xml file.
