Sorry for sending too many msgs, but some message could be important.

Nothing from that. In the GUI, is there any status, or just the "Communication deferred ..."? Is there an open task waiting? It does look like SETI is running tasks, did you try to pause both the tasks and the projects and do an update on Einstein?

OK, thank you. It worked and I got some more work.
Thanks.

I hate to disagree. :-)

@ccpilla
Download and unzip BOINC Debt Viewer into the BOINC directory. Run it, copy the line of the Einstein project and post that here. I'm betting that Einstein has a lot of negative debt that it is still working to get rid of compared to Seti and Rosetta.

Although you can also run into this message (which is informal, not an error) when you put the Einstein project to No New Tasks in the Projects tab of BOINC Manager. Easily checked. High-light Einstein by clicking on it, then check the menu on the left. If you see a button called "Allow new tasks", then press it. Or if you see a button called "Resume" press that. These buttons show the option they have, not the state they are in. The state is shown in the Status column of the projects. (Won't get new tasks or Project suspended by user)

Edit: well then, too slow typing all that.
Pausing other projects to get work for this project will increase the negative debt that this project has, so a next time you'll get this all over again, until you've given those other projects enough processor time to equalize things.

Got a lot of work , maybe too much at same time, when I suspended the other two projects and then restarted them.
Thank you for your advice, too. See what happened:

Don't worry, you have downloaded a lot of individual files but those will be used for many results to come. You have currently 2 tasks in progress which should be ok for your PC. No problem at all.

Happy crunching!

I noticed one additional thing on your computer. The last result you returned exited with error " - exit code -1073741811 (0xc000000d)".

This is an application error that one can run into with certain video cards.
By disabling the screen saver under Windows (right click desktop, properties, screen saver, set it to None or another screen saver than BOINC), you can get around this error. Or else you have the chance you return all the old S5R2s you got now as errors.
