Have now received 4 WUs since last post. 3 are complete, the other needs 4 minutes to finish.
Additionally, ClimatePrediction (my main project) spewed out a couple of units and SETI is down again so MilkyWay is leading the pack again while only running 10% of the time. Hey, at least there is some work flowing.

In reference to a previous post concerning timing and BOINC getting greedy, I'm going to check all my settings concerning how much work to have on hand.

Ok, my main (60%) project is "updating" and hasn't provided WUs in a couple of months. No problem, I have 3 others that'll suck up cycles gladly (MilkyWay, SETI & MalariaControl). But a 5% project is now leading the pack in work complete and average!
Investigation shows no MW WUs at all. I've done the obvious, reboots, updates and resetting the project, even increased the share percentage and added n-body back in (after having problems last year with them) but still no WUs.

Running Win7 x64 with BOINC 7.0.28 on a 4 core AMD. Other projects are running fine and loving the "promotion" but would like some MW WUs, too.

Still not receiving any WUs. Have reset and updated the project several times - plus the reboot - since 7.0.26 install.

Have noticed also that other projects (MalariaControl & SETI) sit and wait in "Ready to Report" mode instead of uploading automatically. This occurred with 7.0.25 as well, though. (ClimatePrediction's WU may or may not be affected, their WUs are so much larger it hasn't come up yet.) Perhpas this is a more generalized issue and not just a MW@H one?

D/L'ed 7.0.26 (Alpha test version x86 64-bit).
Install went smoothly but after two updates and two resets, nothing. Perhaps a reboot is needed? Will attempt later today. Will let you know results either way.

I've gotten no WUs in several days. Machine is shut down every night and all three other projects are running fine. I have updated and reset the project several times as well, all to no avail. Any ideas?

thanks... I have disabled the nbody files in my setup - I will give that a run and see what happens - thank you for your help


Been having the same problem for several months. 3 of 4 cores available to process and n-bodys sitting there waiting to start. Had to reset project repeatedly to get them to run.
Will try this fix and see how it goes.

In case it matters: Win7 on AMD Phenom II 955 4 core.
Running 4 projects total.
