    Hi - newbie post here.

    I've been crunching for a few months, and went to the E@Home website to view my reults. To my horror, 90% of my results are listed as "client error"!

    Is there something I can do to reduce this error rate?

    Here I was thinking I was doing all this work every time my email hesitated - but as it turns out all that woe was for naught! :)

    Thanks,

    G

      Look at the error messages for your results that have failed. A typical error message looks like this

      Failed to open checkpoint-file for writing. Exiting.

      This indicates a permissions problem: the BOINC client running on your machine can't write to the directory in which BOINC is installed.

          or maybe at any other result ...

          The primary reason is 'Failed to open checkpoint-file for writing. Exiting.' the scondary effect is the exit code.

            Hi Again, Bruce, Wurgle et al.

            Well, I haven't been able resolve this access problem. I'm running XP pro SP2 on a 3G P4, with BOINC 4.25. I have installed BOINC in different directories, set sharing permissions and security restrictions to minimum on that directory, I'm logged on as an administrator, and still I get errors.

            Can anybody help me out here? Does BOINC have trouble with long paths? Should I try it in the c:\ root directory?

            Here is the full error (it's always the same):

            4.25
            - exit code -1073741819 (0xc0000005)

            Failed to open checkpoint-file for writing. Exiting.

            ***UNHANDLED EXCEPTION****
            Reason: Access Violation (0xc0000005) at address 0x7C91433A read attempt to address 0x3F80AF24

            0: Stackwalker not initialized (or was not able to initialize)!

            Thanks,

            G

              How long is your installation path?
              BOINC usually installs fine to C:\Program Files\BOINC

              What type of installation did you choose? (Standalone/Multi/Service)
              If service, does the user running the service have the necessary permission to write to the installation folder and more importantly, the slots\# folder, where # >= 0? Do you even have a slots folder with subfolders? Check for it in the root of the BOINC installation folder, typically C:\Program Files\BOINC\slots

                Hi!

                I have very similar problem: - exit code -1073741819 (0xc0000005), but I've found it when einsten is cooperating with climatepredict. In that case after "Show graphics" I get that error.

                Turning off the screen saver

                  Turning off the screen saver graphics seems to have worked because I was getting lots of errors on einstien with it on. I have gone thru 2 suceeded units with no trouble.

                  Oh, I have the 4.25 version of Bionc running with a 2.4ghz intel processor and Win XP sp2.

                    Well, after shutting down the screen saver is a little better, but not completly. Computing crashing sometimes after switching computation to other project.
