I've also a ton of Computational client errors. Im running 4.25. I set my screensaver to blank and I'll report back on whether that fixed it.
Its a shame, I liked that screensaver.
Ah ha! Since turning my screen saver back on again, I appear to be back in the middle of a sequence of computation errors. Only this time I have logging information. The address of my new set of error is still 0x77F580DB, so it appears to be the same problem. I have set my task log flags to the following options:-

Looks to me like the problem here occurs when Predictor is requesting work as Einstein is shutting down. Maybe it's some combination of this circumstance and having the BOINC screen saver enabled tha causes the problem.
This log extract of an earlier error also looks interesting. I don't think I had all three logging options mentioned above set on at this point.

2005-02-25 21:09:35 [Einstein@Home] Deferring communication with project for 59 seconds
Although Predictor doesn't seem to be downloading when Einstein crashes (or perhaps I haven't got the log of it) it does say exactly one hour earlier, virtually to the second that it will attempt to communicate at that point.
Also this:-

I think evidence is mounting that Predictor and Einstein are getting in each other's way and most likely during a predictor data download.
I will turn my screen saver off again for now to see if I get back to successful results. Things did start to go wrong again on the very next result after I re-enabled it, so I feel it's implicated somehow, even if it isn't the direct cause of the problem.
I ahve had nothing but 'client error' on all my SETI and Einstein units since downloading BOINC 4.25. Machines running Win98 are OK, just WinXP has problems. I paused everything but Einstein and it finished and came up 'success'. I think the bug is with XP when it pauses one project and switches over to another. I'm just going to change over myself for a bit and see what happens.

The data download doesn't happen all the time, so I think its incidental to the problem. Does contribute to it though.
More like the problem is with switching projects. Downloading new work is one thing that can cause BOINC to switch projects, which is why you see the problem at download time. You could try increasing your "connect every xxx days" preference so you don't download new work so often. If you can get a days worth of work downloaded for each project, you can "Disable BOINC network access" so theres no attempt to contact the servers at all.
If you look, the messages show BOINC "stops" Einstein, "starts" predictor, then Einstein completes with an error several seconds later. So for a little bit, two projects are both running. These messages show what I'm talking about (I took the leading "2005-03-12 10:26" off to just show the seconds):
:37 [Einstein@Home] Pausing result H1_0424.9__0425.3_0.1_T11_Test02_2 (removed from memory)

So Einstein runs for 5 seconds after Predictor starts.
There is one thing that BOINC, Predictor, Einstein and the "screensavers" have in common, thats shared memory. BOINC uses a shared memory segment to communicate with the science app - one for each project. Its supposed to work such that the app in slots/0 uses shm_boinc_0. and the app in slots/1 uses shm_boinc_1. You can see this using ProcessExplorer, with the lpwer pane view set to "handles". Full name is /BaseNamedObjects/Shm_boinc_(slot number).
After seeing all the problems that occur when certain science apps start, I wonder if they all use the correct shared memory segment, or they just pick one and use it. If so, it would explain why so many WU's get "exited with zero status but no finished file".
You can check this yourself. Every time BOINC switches projects, run ProcessExplorer and look at the handles in use by the new application. They should switch each time so (assuming you're running two projects) the first app uses shm_boinc_0, when its "suspended", the next app should use shm_boinc_1. And when thats suspended, the first app starts again and uses shm_boinc_0 again.
I'm pretty sure this is a problem as I just checked system and Einstein is running in slots/0, and using shm_boinc_1.
Argh! I completed one WU, but before it could upload, I had to restart my computer cause winamp was playing up. but It wouldnt shut down, so I just hit the switch. Now All the WU are gone and Einstein@home isnt even attatched to boinc manager.\
PS: ok. now its back but it seems to have defaulted back to the point where I last opened the client last night.
Not that it matters, they are all test units.
I agree it has something to do with switching projects (not Predictor specifically, because I get the errors and I'm not running predictor, but I'm running Seti and Climate Prediction) and the screensaver. I've noticed that since I turned off the boinc screensaver about a week ago I haven't gotten any client errors in Einstein or in Seti.
It's strange... May be some additional information from an IT-illiterate person will help the developers a little.
I'm running BOINC 4.25 with only Einstein and SETI (neither CPDN nor Predictor), the screensavers are always on, and I had no errors up to now. My OS is XP SP2 with all the updates (I'm still recklessly naive {'o'}). No problems with switching between projects.

Sorry, I evidently did not make myself clear. I have no problems at all with 4.25. I thought it strange that so many people DO have problems. May be I'm just lucky. If it helps to clarify the situation, my modest machine is Athlon XP 2000+ with 512 MB (2 x 256).
I hope the new versions will be free of these bugs.
Happy crunching!

:37 [Einstein@Home] Pausing result H1_0424.9__0425.3_0.1_T11_Test02_2 (removed from memory)
:37 [DEBUG_TASK ] ACTIVE_TASK::start(first_time=1)
:37 [ProteinPredictorAtHome] Starting result t0215E_1_41823_1 using mfoldB125 version 4.24
(removed messages about contacting server)
:42 [DEBUG_TASK ] ACTIVE_TASK_SET::check_app_exited(): Process exited with code -1073741819
:42 [Einstein@Home] Unrecoverable error for result H1_0424.9__0425.3_0.1_T11_Test02_2 ( - exit code -1073741819 (0xc0000005))
So Einstein runs for 5 seconds after Predictor starts.
There is one thing that BOINC, Predictor, Einstein and the "screensavers" have in common, thats shared memory. BOINC uses a shared memory segment to communicate with the science app - one for each project. Its supposed to work such that the app in slots/0 uses shm_boinc_0. and the app in slots/1 uses shm_boinc_1. You can see this using ProcessExplorer, with the lpwer pane view set to "handles". Full name is /BaseNamedObjects/Shm_boinc_(slot number).
After seeing all the problems that occur when certain science apps start, I wonder if they all use the correct shared memory segment, or they just pick one and use it. If so, it would explain why so many WU's get "exited with zero status but no finished file".
You can check this yourself. Every time BOINC switches projects, run ProcessExplorer and look at the handles in use by the new application. They should switch each time so (assuming you're running two projects) the first app uses shm_boinc_0, when its "suspended", the next app should use shm_boinc_1. And when thats suspended, the first app starts again and uses shm_boinc_0 again.
I'm pretty sure this is a problem as I just checked system and Einstein is running in slots/0, and using shm_boinc_1.
Argh! I completed one WU, but

Argh! I completed one WU, but before it could upload, I had to restart my computer cause winamp was playing up. but It wouldnt shut down, so I just hit the switch. Now All the WU are gone and Einstein@home isnt even attatched to boinc manager.\
PS: ok. now its back but it seems to have defaulted back to the point where I last opened the client last night.
Not that it matters, they are all test units.
I agree it has something to

I agree it has something to do with switching projects (not Predictor specifically, because I get the errors and I'm not running predictor, but I'm running Seti and Climate Prediction) and the screensaver. I've noticed that since I turned off the boinc screensaver about a week ago I haven't gotten any client errors in Einstein or in Seti.

It's strange... May be some additional information from an IT-illiterate person will help the developers a little.
I'm running BOINC 4.25 with only Einstein and SETI (neither CPDN nor Predictor), the screensavers are always on, and I had no errors up to now. My OS is XP SP2 with all the updates (I'm still recklessly naive {'o'}). No problems with switching between projects.
But you're having problems

But you're having problems right? I'm not running Seti. Just boinc by itself. Doing two WU's on a hyperthreaded CPU.

Sorry, I evidently did not make myself clear. I have no problems at all with 4.25. I thought it strange that so many people DO have problems. May be I'm just lucky. If it helps to clarify the situation, my modest machine is Athlon XP 2000+ with 512 MB (2 x 256).
I hope the new versions will be free of these bugs.
Happy crunching!
