Hello
I'm getting this error quite a lot and it's bugging me since i'm getting only a little work done with this computer. It's a 3 Ghz Pentium IV HT processor. I was using Boinc client version 4.** for a long time and today i upgraded to 5.2.13 but these errors still keep coming.
Here's the error copied directly from Boinc client.

Is this something that can be fixed by the Boinc team or is it something i have to do?

You're running WinXP, and Einstein 4.79; do these by chance happen when the screensaver kicks in, or when you hit "show graphics"? If so, it _could_ be the "graphics bug", but based on the "failed to open checkpoint-file for writing" message above, I'm guessing that it's more likely to be a virus-scan application. BOINC is constantly changing files in the BOINC directory, which makes virus software go nuts constantly checking those files for viruses. If the virus software has the file open, looking at it, BOINC errors out trying to write to it. The best fix is to tell your virus software to ignore the BOINC folder, and then when you _want_ to check things, stop BOINC and run the scan manually.

Exit code -1073741819 (0xc0000005) is the classic "graphics bug" error code. It is a problem with Einstein 4.79 and the newer BOINC versions. Best thing to do is to stop using the BOINC screensaver (or "Show graphics" option) until the new science application is downloaded. Note the announcement today on the EAH homepage regarding the new application named Albert. The new app should fix the "graphics bug".
Ok i will disable the

Ok i will disable the screensaver for now to see how it handles from there on.
Thanks.
