(moderation:
Recently I noticed that I never see seti at home screen come up. I have Einstein at home and climate prediction as well and the only one I notice coming up is climate prediction. The last contact I notice for both Einstein at home and seti at home was both 4 Feb 2006 where as climate prediction is 4 March. I can’t see any error messages so I was wondering if it was actually doing something?
thanks.

Your machine currently has no work for Einstein@home.

Ok, thanks. So my next question is why am I getting no more work? I can't see anything in messages that says there is a problem or is it just that there is no more work to get?

Maybe a bug in BOINC version 4.45. Please upgrade to the newest version of BOINC.

In such cases it is also sometimes userful to check the scheduler logs.

This is telling you that Climate does not think it will finish in time, so it suspended the fetching of any other work until Climate is "out of the woods". Since you machine only works when you are not, your machine is getting less than optimal time crunching. So if you are busy on it 8 hours a day, you are only crunching live for 16 of those hours.
You have several choices here. Change to do work why computer is in use, do nothing and let it get itself caught up (could take months), or quit climate all together. I am sure there are a few other choices, but these are the main ones. I would suggest allowing it to work while in use. It will will probably run in EDF mode for a while, but a lot less than if you leave as is.

You might want to lower your connect to number, as the higher this is the sooner you go into EDF......,

It looks like is the over commited thing that's the prob. I have now been getting some other work in. Thanks all for your help.
