What happens when you do 'update project'? Do you get more work?

Me too. The messages say

Message 8153 in response to message 8152

Me too. The messages say "daily quota of 2 WU reached". How can I increase the daily quota or whatever it takes to get the program going again?

Your daily quota is dropping because all the results you have so far returned are invalid. It appears that your computer is trashing the work. Have a look at your list of results under your account on the website and you will see a bunch of "client error" outcomes for your work.

The project is simply protecting itself from large numbers of WUs being trashed by computers with attitude :). If you can find out what is wrong with your box and start producing valid results, your daily quota will go back up to 8. Please have a good read through the front page FAQ and also the link to the documentation website at the top of the FAQ page.

Cheers,
Gary.

In the stderr out file a program called Stackwalker could be the problem.

This is the message: Stackwalker not initialized (or was not able to initialize)!

Maybe this program is the reason why the checkpoint-file could not be opened for writing as stated in the stderr out file also.
