memory settings

You have no computer registered with the project so I'm guessing that you may not have enough physical RAM for EAH to be able to run. You need 128MB pretty much as a minimum. More than that would be better, particularly if you are running WinXP. The size of your HDD is not relevant if you don't have enough physical RAM.

Can you tell us the specification of your computer and its OS, thanks?

Cheers,
Gary.

I am confused. You have no machines registered on the Einstein@Home project. This registration process should always happen before your machine requests work (and is perhaps rejected for one reason or another). So I don't see how your machine could have requested work and been rejected for lack of memory.

I Have 512 MB ram I just deleted all my einstein@home files so my computer doesn't appear any longer on your stats


Now I have restarted a new einstein@home which works fine but I have lost all my previous credits -not a big deal- I don't paticipate to this project to be the first in the stats but just to help science

Thanks for your Help

Thanks for the reply
Well I used to be registered to EAH and my computer (athlon 2000+ 512MB ram 80GBHD did some work for a week or two) then the boinc client refused to download any wu telling me "you dont have enough disk space" OK
I tried to change my prefs to no avail. Then I decided to trash all the EAH files from C:\\Progam Files \\Boinc\\Projects.
So I guess that's why you don't "see my computer.
Now I've reloaded a fresh new eah client which works fine
But Im just unable to find a trace of my previous stats, which is no big deal
Thanks for your cooperation

Actually, it's quite puzzling

Actually, it's quite puzzling since you can delete anything you like on your machine and attach, detach, reinstall, etc as many times as you like. The website will keep track of each CPUID that you create for your machine, unless you merge or delete the old ones on the website. The credits you currently have, are all since 23rd November only.

You joined way back in January so all your credits from earlier work should still be attached to your UserID. Did you work previously under a different UserID??

Cheers,
Gary.
