Since about January my Windows ME machine has been failing on this project with compute errors. This is the message: 05/07/2009 05:11:41|Milkyway@home|Sending scheduler request to http://milkyway.rpi.edu/cgi/cgi 05/07/2009 05:11:41|Milkyway@home|Reason: To fetch work 05/07/2009 05:11:41|Milkyway@home|Requesting 43200 seconds of new work 05/07/2009 05:11:46|Milkyway@home|Scheduler request succeeded 05/07/2009 05:11:47|Milkyway@home|Started download of file parameter_222F5_3s.txt 05/07/2009 05:11:47|Milkyway@home|Started download of file stars222F5 05/07/2009 05:11:50|Milkyway@home|Finished download of file parameter_222F5_3s.txt 05/07/2009 05:11:50|Milkyway@home|Throughput 9845 bytes/sec 05/07/2009 05:11:50|Milkyway@home|Started download of file ps_sgr_222F5_3s_hiw_search_parameters_11674371_1246766915 05/07/2009 05:11:51|Milkyway@home|Finished download of file ps_sgr_222F5_3s_hiw_search_parameters_11674371_1246766915 05/07/2009 05:11:51|Milkyway@home|Throughput 1086 bytes/sec 05/07/2009 05:12:16|Milkyway@home|Finished download of file stars222F5 05/07/2009 05:12:16|Milkyway@home|Throughput 112883 bytes/sec 05/07/2009 05:12:18|Milkyway@home|Process creation failed: A device attached to the system is not functioning.

Having searched for the same message on other BOINC projects, I think I may be getting this because it is a Windows ME machine. "This probably has something to do with an API function recently introduced into your code, which unfortunately is not supported under Win98..." |

I suspect the 'Applictions' page at http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/apps.php should say something like "XP or later" instead of "Microsoft Windows (98 or later) running on an Intel x86-compatible CPU 0.19" but I don't really know. I wonder if anyone reads these Q&As or is it just me, talking to myself? |

Not many read these at MW, try the regular message boards/Number Crunching. ME is after 98 so it should run MW. Are you using an optimized app? Have you restarted your pc? Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected? If it makes sense, DON'T do it. |

Thinking about this more. For some reason you have a limit of one wu/day on your computer, it should be 5000. I would send a message to Dave P. or Travis (not sure if they are "in"), might try Blurf, he may be able to contact them. There is also plenty of work, that message must be a response to hitting your quota. Has this happened to any other wus? Could be a fluke. Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected? If it makes sense, DON'T do it. |

It seems that it isn't recognizing something on your computer. Does detatching delete the old files? If not then try resetting MW. I would recommend the optimized app anyways: http://zslip.com/milkyway.htm Much faster. |

I would recommend the optimized app anyways: http://zslip.com/milkyway.htm Much faster. So I'll need to find out which version to use (v0.16 or v0.19), then whether it's SSE, SSE 2, SSE 3, SSSE 3, SSE 4.1, SSE 4.2 or x87. Then how to install it. I can't be bothered. I'll just detach from the project. It'd be a lot easier if one could just attach to this project in the ame way as other projects. |

I would recommend the optimized app anyways: http://zslip.com/milkyway.htm Much faster. Well .19, and with a P4 most likely SSE2 is the best you can use. Installing; turn Bonic off. Delete the old app files in the MW folder and add the new ones. |
