Einstein@home not working at all.

(moderation:
I'm running seti@home, rosetta@home and milkyway@home and have tried at various times to get einstein to run. It will not.
And it appears to never update. My other projects have no problems. What's up with einstein ? I have reset it, and updated it, to no avail. Nothing runs.

Your RAC seems to be 0 both on Rosetta and SETI. Are they running?

Without you showing at least some messages from your BOINC, from a communication with EAH it's difficult to guess at what is happening here.

Your host details page shows that your computer joined the project back in March and has never returned a successful result (zero credit). However it also shows your turnaround time as 14 days and that your daily quota is 28. So you must have been issued with several tasks previously - at least 4 in order to cause the quota to have been reduced from 32 to 28. If there were 4 and they all exceeded the deadline without being returned, that would explain the two numbers (14 and 28) that show on the host details.
You also have a new task that has been allocated to your computer quite recently. Can you see that task listed when you open BOINC Manager and look at the 'Tasks' tab? Is it making any progress? Do you have your machine switched on often enough and with a high enough resource share for a task to be finished and returned within the 14 day deadline?
Since the other two projects you mention (Seti and Rosetta) are both listed with zero recent average credit (RAC), it almost appears like the problem is probably that you rarely turn on your computer or that the projects are disabled in some way when you do have it turned on. On average, how many hours per day would your computer run?

You are correct about my not

You are correct about my not giving "Rosetta" any computer time. I had even forgotten I add signed up for that it until just the other day, I came across an old email, so I reloaded it in BOINC. But, my current work load is: Milkyway-3228.39, Seti - 501.09, Rosetta - 5.03 and Einstein - 0.0. Einstein just does not run. And my computer time is often taken up doing renders - image rendering. So, I am sorry, but Einstein has never ran since I signed up for it, near as I can tell.
RE: ... my current work

I'm guessing that these numbers are the credits you have received from the specified projects? If so, it doesn't tell us much without also telling us what resource shares you have allocated to each project, how often you turn your computer on, how much of the time it is running at high load doing image rendering, if your preferences prevent the computer from running BOINC when you are using it for your own purposes, etc. It's quite possible that there aren't many CPU cycles available for BOINC to use and if E@H has a low resource share, an E@H task might hardly ever run.
You keep saying this but I'm not sure exactly what you mean. There is an E@H task in your cache and it's been there for over two days. Are you saying that it's just sitting there waiting to run? That's not too surprising if you have a low resource share for E@H, with preference settings that suspend BOINC a lot of the time and then you turn your computer off as soon as you finish actively using it. Or are you saying that its status is shown as 'running' but that it's not accumulating any CPU time or %completed? That would be a real problem.
Please realise that there is absolutely no implied criticism in any of my responses. I'm just trying to better understand what your problem really is.
Cheers,
Gary.
