I started getting errors on

I started getting errors on another host too, this time it was WCG tasks failing.
Checking the disk again revealed corruption in the BOINC data folder.
These errors seem to have started when I joined LHC-Test4Theory (running via VirtualBox), so I have a feeling that this might be related. Maybe it's caused by the VirtualBox...

You and I are running two different scenarios of "virtualization": you VirtualBox and me XenServer. I suppose it could be related but I can't say for sure. What I can say is that I am probably going to port my XenServer box and a Win 7 box back to a "pure" Linux build supporting a NVIDIA and ATI card. Xen has been an interesting venture but you need "enough hardware" to do it correctly. This all adds up to $s which are always a consideration. An honestly aren't we all trying to "win that toaster"? :>)

That shouldn't be the problem Mumak,

I have several XP Pro's and Win7's that have been running Einsteins and T4T tasks at the same time since they both started but I also didn't update to the newest VB version and I see you do have newer Boinc and VB versions.

I just stick with the ones that work until I have no choice.

Did it start doing this after you updated to the VB 4.3.6 ??

The only thing I try to keep up to date is the GeForce drivers and I never have any task errors. (and the one Radeon I have)
.....and I see you have the same driver on your Radeon card.

I started with T4T only a week ago, so VB 4.3.6 was the first version I installed. Now I removed it from 2 hosts to see if the problems go away to see if that was the issue.

Here are the older versions if you want to try one (make sure you do a complete remove of the Oracle VB that you have first)
