Sorry for another post about this theme.
Since several weeks I don´t receive any new WUs.

All other projects running well.

Reset done: no solution.

Which other informations you need to solve this problem?

Thx to all.

Die üblichen Verdächtigen:
resource share for all your projects
debts (to be found in client_state.xml)
the from the same file
are any tasks in EDF (Earliest Deadline First) aka high priority mode?
possibly cache size (you have a turnaround time of 11 days)

Do you run other projects on the same pc? Do you have plenty of work for those projects? If so several things could be going on a) you could "owe" time to them, Boinc keeps a tally of how much time you spend on each project and over time will try to balance that out based on your percentage numbers under the Projects tab of the Boinc Manager. B) you could be crunching a project that has a deadline that is fast approaching and if you got Einstein units you wouldn't be able to meet its deadline.

One thing you can do, since you have no units anyway, is detach and then shut down Boinc all together. Then restart Boinc and reattach to Einstein and see if that gets you some new units.

There are no new Einstein WUs since weeks. And there are no old dead jobs.

Mikey mentioned it in his point a). You can find more infos at the FAQ Service, BOINC Terminology. Search for "debt". (Wenn ich endlich meine Hausaufgaben mache, wird es dort sogar auf Deutsch zu finden sein :-)

In your BOINC data directory. The path is in your Messages tab after starting BOINC. The folder may be hidden.

You can't. BOINC enters this mode if necessary, see mikey's point B).
It is shown in the Tasks tab of the manager in the Status column.

Turnaround time is the mean time between downloading a task and uploading the result. The value is shown on your Computer summary page.
The "cache size" is the sum of "Computer is connected to the Internet about every X days" and "Maintain enough work for an additional X days" from your Computing preferences.

Do a search thru the start button at the bottom left of your Windows screen. It is in different places depending on the version of Boinc you are using, so that is easiest.

But what is the turnaround time of your other projects you said you crunch for? If it is very short and you have a week or so cache, then Einstein won't get any units because you couldn't finish them in time if you did get them.

You didn't search far enough in the past ;-)

See this thread that I found with an advanced search and was posted 73 days ago.

So what does that say?

In the Boinc program under the "Message" tab I see on the left side no other button than "Copy all" and "Copy selection".
What do you mean with "path"?
