Computation suspended by computer

Think about what you did to suspend. There should be a button there that is now labeled 'resume'.

For example, if you 'suspend'ed a project on the projects tab of BOINC Manager, if you now click on that project you will see a button labeled 'resume'.

You may have 'suspend'ed tasks on the Tasks tab. If so just 'resume' them there.

Alternatively, you may have 'suspend'ed network activity on the 'Activity' drop down menu. If so just set network activity to one of the two other settings - 'always available' or 'based on preferences' - your choice. There is also a setting to suspend computation on the same menu. Check it out as well.

I've just had a look at the computers you have registered with the project. On the one that has communicated most recently, you had a bunch of work but you seem to have aborted it quite recently. Why did you abort the work if you really do want to continue crunching? On two of the tasks you threw away quite a bit of crunching time ...

Good luck with getting it going again.

Cheers,
Gary.

Thank you, Mr.

Thank you, Mr. Roberts.

The network setting under activity had been changed to suspend.

Aborting units was the only way to clear up a problem with Einstein on
another workstation. Two of the dual 2.0 GHz IBM M-workstations I
own have crashed while running Boinc projects.
