Compute Error- task completes but doesn't send finished file

There are a couple of issues here. Your machine has a very low memory amount. This amount is even lower because you are using shared memory for video. This can cause many problems. You still have enough memory to crunch, but not use the screen saver. I would suggest trying to get your memory to at least 512M, but you may still have issues with the shared memory and screen saver. To change this, you need to get an external video card.
Thanks PB, that helped me

Thanks PB, that helped me figure out what could be wrong for another person elsewhere. :)

deen,
this seems to be related to the screen saver.
Try switching off the screen saver and examine if the problem still occurs.
