ALL 1.21 WUs crash immediately on startup - Win2000 SP4, AMD XP, BOINC 5.10.20: 3/7/2008 4:56:24 AM|Milkyway@home|Starting task gs_280_1204841156_22984_0 using astronomy version 119 My queue was about half and half 1.19 and 1.21 All the 1.19 WUs finished fine. |

ALL 1.21 WUs crash immediately on startup - Win2000 SP4, AMD XP, BOINC 5.10.20: I did some high level optimization on 1.21 which may have adversely affected sub-XP systems. I will revert back to the 1.19 optimization that Cruncher implemented. Dave Przybylo MilkyWay@home Developer Department of Computer Science Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute |

1.21 performance is back up, bettering the previous versions. |

Hello, Same problem here on Win2000 SP4 and WinNT Server SP6. WinXP SP1 works fine. Yesterday, I suspended all other projects to check v1.19 and it worked fine on all machines, including WinNT 4. Sometimes, I get a pop up window that locks the system so that no more work will be done until someone clicks OK! ADVAPI32.dll Versions: Windows 2000 SP4: 5.0.2195.7038 Windows NT 4 Terminal Server with Citrix Metaframe 1.8: 4.00 (File by Citrix) Maybe this could be of any interest: MS Knowledge Base article 142606 or MSDN article aa378189 LogonUserExA function isn't available in Win2k or WinNT. It's only available for WinXP and Vista. BTW, what are all those error messages on your website about, complaining about "Undefined variables" or "non given properties". Examples: Message board posts: Notice: Undefined variable: out in /export/share0/www/boinc/milkyway/html/inc/text_transform.inc on line 236 View a result: Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /export/share0/www/boinc/milkyway/html/inc/result.inc on line 79 View a user profile: Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::hasImagesAsLinks() in /export/share0/www/boinc/milkyway/html/inc/text_transform.inc on line 109 |

Hello, could you let us know any workunits that cause a windows popup? we've added code in the new version of the application that should spit out what's causing the error, so if you can point us to the right work units we should be able to diagnose and fix the problem. |

Hello, The last WU that crashed whith a popup was this one: resultid=4795441 (gs_281_1204884506_90429_0) Also, have a look at my last post, I added somethig I found at MSDN. |

I'm almost 100% sure that Dave compiled the 1.21 with "unicode" charset instead of "multibyte charset" support.... cuz that's what will make the app crash on w2k and nt4 OS... Join Support science! Joinc Team BOINC United now! |

I just noticed that v1.21 the "Progress" meter is more linear than v1.19's. That is, as compared to what I reported here for v1.19, my last v1.21 unit took about 9 minutes to do the first 50% and about 2 minutes for the last 50%. Much better! |

I realise it's probably good practice to use Unicode.. just wondering though, does Milkyway@home have any great need of it? |

Of what ? Using unicode ? If that's the question... well no. Not that i can think of, though i might be wrong ;) Join Support science! Joinc Team BOINC United now! |

Three of my hosts running W2K just picked up the 1.22 app and it is working fine. They were crashing on 1.21 immediately and 2 of 3 have just completed their first 1.22 wu and returned it w/o a prob. Good work, so far, so good!

Good work, so far, so good! Well... i had that strange feeling in my guts that 1.22 will work ;) However, those issues of older win OSes crashing will be gone as of now since we figured out already what triggered it ;) Join Support science!

Hi, currently all hosts (32bit Linux, Win XP, Win 2000, Vista) run without problems with the new app versions. Thx a lot! Ciao Stefan |

1.20: 6:10min I confirm a similar slow-down of 10% from 1.21. HTH |

1.20: 6:10min Well... to get "backwards" compatibilty we had to sacrifice some speed on 1.22... That's the way life goes but we won't exclude older OS just for having a faster app ;) If all settles down without any computation errors we'll have a look at speed improvements again ;) Dropping g++/cl is one of them ... switching to icc/icl will help a great deal but we're not there yet. Hope ya'll uderstand that we have to iron out the bugs first. Join Support science! Joinc Team BOINC United now! |

1.20: 6:10min No problem, the main part is that all is running fine here :-) |

Good to hear it's working for you ! and that's exacly what gets first priority... getting all apps working properly ... more tweaks and stuff like that is the second goal. Join Support science! Joinc Team BOINC United now! |

my first linux 32 bit 1.22 is reported on this machine Thanks buddy ;) I guess that's the 'official' one now ;) Seems to work as intended... using a runtime dispatcher and speed increased a bit too. BTW, thanks for helping test the apps. It's quite welcome! Join Support science! Joinc Team BOINC United now! |
