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.

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?

Different error:

Model crashed: umshell1.f: U_MODEL: Illegal combination of submodels

Haven\'t seen that one before but wonder whether the Run was restarted from a backup taken while the Model was running? Or from a backup taken of only the CPDN sub-folder?

chances are it resulted from an unstable parameter mix. (A guess
on my part, but there have been too many recently not to suspect parameters. No biggie, though, the scientists also have to see what *doesn\'t*
work. [I know, small consolation.])

Simply move the entire boinc folder, then reinstall boinc into the same folder. This sets the proper Registry values and does nothing to harm your work in progress.

I\'m getting a new system soon, but if possible I\'d prefer to carry over the WU my old PC is in chewing on. Would a simple folder copy of Boinc files work, or will the naturally changeing machine ID cause problems?

Not the end of the world if it doesn\'t work, but since the WU\'s do take quite a bit of time it would be nice to be able to finish the one I\'ve already started.

As far as I know it\'s only the founder who can do that... :-(

Both. But it\'s unlikely to happen for several reasons.
