OK, I've just looked it up

OK, I've just looked it up myself and there isn't much except the following:-

This could be a problem with Climateprediction not supported Win NT4.

It shows an example CPDN log snippet with the precise message shown in your errored results on EAH. Maybe Paul Buck would be interested in your error log file from the BOINC folder of that machine. Is the BOINC directory still there on that box?

Cheers,
Gary.

I was only running Einstein

I was only running Einstein through Boinc, it was a windows NT box, ie, Windows 2000 Pro. It was a contract job and I am not working there now so can't get to the log files.

I don't remember rebooting

I don't remember rebooting after installing BOINC but it was a long time ago :).

The OS is Win2K Server and not NT4 so maybe this might be a message of use to Paul.

Edit:
OK, no worries, I've now seen your last message. Answering too fast :).

Cheers,
Gary.

Probably because you cant

Probably because you cant kill the idle process on Windows NT. I presume Boinc needs to become the idle process.

BOINC itself runs at normal

BOINC itself runs at normal priority (I think) but runs the science app at low priority and I thought it was just above the idle priority??? I don't know the answers where we are heading so I'll buy out of this for the moment :). I gotta go now, sorry. I'll revisit later if you have any queries I do know about :).

Cheers,
Gary.

This is normally due to a quirk in the RAC calculation. When it has a very small time frame to work with it often comes up with an outrageously high RAC. In this case it will settle to something more realistic the next time it is recalculated.

LOL! But the old one is gone, which means they ran the cleanup routine, and the RACs are right. (Well, as right as RAC ever gets...) Now all that needs to be done is fix the "top 20" list so there is some minimum number of credits to qualify, regardless of RAC. :-)
