Hey everyone, not much of a poster here. I'm just concerned about haveing comp. errors w/ a new batch of my WUs downloaded.

I reattached after my BOINC was having problems, got 4 WUs. Those 2 are done with computation errors. What is wrong with them?

This is one of the "generic" error messages that really don't say much more than "something went wrong". If you continue to have more of these, especially if you have any problems on other projects, I'd look at issues on your PC - RAM problems, overheating, overclocked too far, etc. If it's limited to Rosetta, then it could be a batch of "bad WUs"; there have been others having similar problems, some consistently, although most (including me) report that everything is fine, no errors seen. If later results are successful, then I'd mark this down as a "glitch" and not worry about it. They happen on every project to some degree, and as long as they aren't "common", they could be due to almost anything.

Another one just died. I've decided to reset the project.

As for my comp specs: 1.4 GHz AMD Athlon XP 1700+
512mb pc2100 RAM

I've not overclocked anything on the computer. And I don't have problems with other projects, this is the only project where I keep getting computation errors randomly.

Couple of things to try. Are you leaving apps in memory when suspended, if not turn it on. Your system is identical CPU and RAM to one that I have which works just fine leaving them in memory.

Failing that, try increasing the time delay between project switches. There's a known bug in the Rosetta client that causes it to fail when the app is removed from memory.

I've set the "Leave applications in memory while preempted?" settings to "yes". I'll see what happens when this is on.

My time to switch projects is 60min default.

Well you're not the only one. I've received computational errors on 3 different machines, 2 1.2 Athlons (t-bird core) and a 64 bit 3400+. I've probably had a total of 7 or 8 with at least 4 occuring on one of the 1.2 Athlons. I received several MBs of new downloads this AM on 2 of them and I may just replace the data on the third machine and see if that helps.

Just out of curiosity, what setting do you have for the "Leave 'em in memory" option?

OK, I'm seeing a problem that sounds similar to this one. Several times in the last few days I've had an R@H WU crash on me. It's happened every time precisely when I clicked on something that asked for a new GUI window/display. (Once it was when I was starting a card game app. The other times have been when I clicked on a link in FireFox to open a URL in a new tab.) It immediately causes an R@H failure message to pop up, followed by crashing my other application (FireFox, etc.) as well. It hasn't happened (yet) on any other app than R@H (and I'm running most of them).

I'm set to "not leave apps in memory," but then I keep BOINC (5.2.7) set to "Run Always", so it shouldn't be stopping in the first place. I'm running Win98SE (pretty recent drivers all around) on a 3.4GHz Intel chip w/512Mb of RAM. And I'm not overclocked.

Is anyone else seeing this particular behavior, or do you know what can be done about it?

[edit]
I just had this happen again, this time just when I was doing something in the BOINC manage Projects tab (I think just clicking on a project name).

No idea on your problem but thought I'd say - if you are doing ONLY Rosetta, then yes, the app should be staying in memory. If you are running any other project, then when that project switches in, Rosetta is removed from memory. I would suggest setting it to leave in memory just to be safe, either way...

Thanks, but I don't have enough memory to leave all suspended apps in memory at once (too many projects). And this problem always seems to happen exactly as I click the mouse, so it isn't likely to be app-switching-related (IMO).

Hm... try it? Can't hurt. Might help. Even Win98 had a decent implementation of VM...
