Welcome to Einstein@Home, BethW. As a measure of prevention to keep spam and spam bots from cluttering up the forums, credit (points/in the form of RAC) are required to be able to post most of the forums. Non is required to be able to post in this section (Problems and Bug Reports) so as to allow people without a minimum RAC of 1 (I believe) to ask questions concerning the project and post any problems they may have connecting or running the Einstein application and/or BOINC. Credit is earned by allowing the application to run on a computer.
(Hope this helps, got to cut it short... late for work lol)

Hi,
"Points" (called credits) are assigned to your account on the basis of how much work your computer does for the project. Until your computer has earned some credit there are restrictions on what you can do.
In your case, you haven't completed the registration procedure since you don't have a computer registered with the project. Until you do that it will be a bit difficult to earn any credit :-). You need to install the BOINC client on your computer and allow it to communicate with the project servers so that it can be given a hostID and can receive work to crunch. After the work is crunched and the results returned, you will receive credit.
Right now I'm compiling a new 2.6.20.7 kernel where I just changed the kernel config from "Preemtible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop) / CONFIG_PREEMPT" to "Voluntary Kernel Preemption (Desktop) / CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY". I'm going to do this again tomorrow on a second machine (Intel Core 2 Duo instead of Athlon64 single core) which exhibits the same problem and also uses the Low-Latency Desktop setting...
My iBook with OSX (Tiger) turned in a result successfully, and now I've been getting these. What can I do (if anything)? Nothing on my end has changed.

Take a look at this recent thread about download errors and follow Bikeman's advice about making a temporary change in your timezone to fool BOINC into using a different download mirror. Once you are back running again, you should be able to revert to your normal timezone setting.

No luck, although that might be because of maximum results. I may try again tomorrow . . . thanks.

Undoubtedly it was since the number of repeated errors had reduced your limit to 1/day. Immediately after the start of the new day you downloaded a fresh task which doesn't seem to have errored out this time so I guess BOINC was able to download the needed file and you are now crunching away.

Hi guys,
I think the culprit causing this strange FPU stack corruption error I and several others experienced in the past might finally be found. Check this out:
