For the last 2 days i have not been able to download any WUs from E@H.
If want us to help, we'll need some more information from you on what's happening. You posted a similar complaint on another board a couple of days ago and you got a couple of responses (including one from me). Then, apparently things started working again - at least for a while. But we never heard anything from you regarding the resolution of the first problem. Did it fix itself (as Thierry suggested it might)? If so, you probably don't have a problem - just project debt being repaid.

I did upload my last WU today.... it was an ERROR! :(
Do you use the BOINC screensaver (or use the "Show graphics" option)?

Yes today i was showing someone what it looked like so i did use the "Show Graphics" option. After they left i came back and that screen had gone and it showed an error. Are we not suppose to use that option? :S
Also the last problem did clear it self up. Sorry I didn't come back to inform you.

Ricky,
Is your videocard from ATI? or an ATI clone?

More than likely, it was the "graphics bug" - a problem with Einstein 4.79 and BOINC 4.45 (you may be the first to experience it with the BOINC 5.2.1). The Einstein Beta Application usually fixes this bug with BOINC 4.45. Why don't you try it with BOINC 5.2.1. You might be the first one to try that combination, too. I'm sure the software guys would like to get the feedback. The link to the Beta is under More Information on the E@H home page. And, you report problems/experience with the Beta at Message boards : Cafe Einstein : NEW: WINDOWS TEST APPLICATION FOR EINSTEIN@HOME.

This is indicative of the "debt repayment" issue - BOINC should ask for more work when it's ready. In the meantime, this would be a good time to install the Beta (i.e. while you don't have any work from Einstein).
Not getting any WU?
