If you don't have it then no you can't do anything. Why the server is replying like that I don't know. It seems MW is messing around with things todys as some teams disappeared too. Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected? If it makes sense, DON'T do it. ID: 45775 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

So my guess would be that only N-Body WUs were available at that moment, when your machine asked for work and the server could not give them to it because it can't run the application.

That's entirely possible, judging by the available computers. JUGA, one of your machines doesn't support SSE2: http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/show_host_detail.php?hostid=212861 (I believe Family 6 Model 7 is the Pentium III Katmai) ...while the other one does: http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/show_host_detail.php?hostid=212870 ID: 45780 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

SSE2 is an instruction set and is required for N-body. If there's only N-body stuff available, and you can't run the N-body, you should get this error. ID: 45794 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
