I've noticed a recurring (persistent) anomalous deference in communication whose duration is always 1 minute and 1 second. It's accompanied by a red dot over the BOINC logo in the notification area of the task bar, instead of the usual blue dot:

Possibly related: Internet service was down long enough for all WUs to run to 100% completion. When service was restored, I forced a retry on the uploads (no problem) and then I right-clicked the whole project and selected 'update'. In the past I've noticed that this can lead to requests for more work which are denied, since the last request was too recent – usually the recent request is deferred for a time and then all is well, but on this occasion there's the persistent deference, and each time this follows a successful request for more work. Should I exit and restart BOINC, or reboot the system, or let it run as such?
OK, i had to use the beta code because the current version won't run on my laptop with an "unrecoverable error". However, the beta-code is *way* slower than some older version. With the old version it took about 12 hours on my laptop for one WU to complete, now it takes more than 17 hours.
Somehow this doesn't feel right.

I just posted a new Window App (0.18) for beta testing. It involves quite some fixes to the BOINC library, including the previous ATI graphics driver fix and a fix to some other problems (mainly general access violations) in conjunction with the graphics.

Hello BM,
Very nice you posted it - although the 0.03 beta repaired my screensaver (yeah, the ATI Redeon issue), it was _very_ unstable (Windows memory fault error).
But I the version you posted includes a bad app_info.xml:
It is:

What's wrong with it? I allows to smoothly migrate from the 0.03 to 0.18 App if you leave the einstein_0.03_... files in place as long as there are Results assigned to it.

Oh, sorry Bernd, I didn't know that..
Once I upgraded to 0.18, I was still seeing the einstein 0.03 version in BOINC mgr and thought the problem was app_info.xml.
But if you say it's ok I guess it is.

Some. We are currently awaiting another fix in the BOINC lib before we build and publish a new App.
