I have not been able to get Boinc to work, for Einstein at home. Can you help?

Well, you've had some success! I gather you are meaning those four work units on 9th December which gave the error - exit code -1073741502 (0xc0000142)?

Mike.

I have made this letter longer than usual because I lack the time to make it shorter ...

Found this searching the BOINC Wiki.

For the group:

Exit Code -1073741502 (0xc0000142))

This is a Microsoft Windows® "stop" error. This specific error is most likely related to an error initializing a Dynamic Link Library.

Unrecoverable error for result 2f9b_200134233_0 ( - exit code -1073741502 (0xc0000142))

Line-By-Line Explanation

* Unrecoverable error for result '(result)' ( - exit code -'(number)' ('(hex-number)'))

There was a severe error in the processing this Result and we had a "death" type ending to the Science Application.

So I'd hazard a guess to say that something real bad happened to Windows that day, but it got better as you have succeeded since? Something new?

Thanks Mike, I just figured

Thanks Mike, I just figured out how this works after typing and sending the following just a minute ago, "Is this where we can get help? I sent a posting 12 days ago, saying I have a problem getting Boink to work for me. Or, am I tooo computer illiterate to get anything out of this Message Board even? " I have never used a Message Board before. I will read all of this stuff now and learn from it. Sorry for my ignorance. Sincerely, Mr. Lynn
