I'm brand new and confused. I know just enough about computers to really screw things up. (I was pretty good at DOS, but Windows has escaped me, and I don't have the time or youth to figure it out.)
All that said, I have been with SETI for years, but only just found out about the others when the changeover to BOINC came about. I elected to start with just Einstein in addition to SETI until I could get used to BOINC. I have completed and submitted one Einstein unit, but I'm not getting any new data to work on. My requests for further work go unfilled. Is it something I'm doing, or is the site locked out pending elimination of a bug?

It may be your "Average turnaround time 7.1 days". If your supplied with 3 work units, your PC would be over committed.
14 days is the maximum time allowed to complete a work unit. Even now, you have two & 2 * 7.1 is 14.2 days.
It may work out as you near completion of the work unit your crunching now.

It would help if you could give us some information. For example, can you give us copies of the exact error message. Also, if we could know things like type of computer, OS, BOINC version, the "connect every 'x' days" setting, and other such similar items.
Welcome to BOINC and to Einstein. I hope we can get this problem fixed for you. There is a whole new world of projects for you to enjoy.
You would be best served by opening a new thread with a description of the problem, and the system as Jim suggested. Then your solution does not get mized in with other things.
This message reports a completely different problem but if you check the results from his computer, you will see that all of them have failed with exit code -1073741819 (0xc0000005) and his quota is now down to one.
I am getting an error on one of 2 pc running boinc, see my original info in Message 25473.
I checked for and upgraded to the latest video driver, changed my NON boinc screen saver to "blank" and am still failing results. i am running on a IBM R50 1.4 GHz 256 MB XP without SP2.
By the way it only started when i added a 3rd project, rosetta, and both rosetta and einstein fail. Rosetta fails much less frequently and Seti NEVER fails. The error also occurs just as the unit is almost 100% complete.
My home system running seti and einstein at the same versions is flawless.
I may try rosetta on my home machine to see if unit start failing. maybe 2 is company and 3 is a crowd?
Doesn't it seems strange that the instruction would call its own memory location to be read?
The first thing I would try is to suspend Rosetta@Home and see if the problem persists. There may be an interaction, though I don't see how, between the two projects.

If you're running rosetta also, be sure that you have the "leave applications in memory while preempted" option under your general preferences set to "yes". Rosetta requires this, and I don't know if it could be related or not, but perhaps if rosetta isn't being left in memory it's not properly releasing something then einstein and rosetta are conflicting over a memory address issue.

I happened to find another example of this problem from the owner of this thread.
I'm brand new and confused.
