I have three , (possibly more...), jobs with a problem. All had run 1d+, and had been running normally. For a printer issue, I had to power the system down and up again. Upon doing so, I now see one has 169 days, one 232 days and the other 316 days, all rapidly increasing. I've suspended them for now. Others that were running appeared to start again, but watching them, the remaining time looks to be in a short cycle. I have suspended all but one of them also. If it doesn't change for a while, I'll suspend that also. It would seem you have an issue with tasks running when a power cycle is necessary...

That is several CPU days wasted. No new tasks set.

A concern of mine was the possible implications with publication of results and papers. I'd like to think journals would not be a barrier, it is more case of whether the papers submissions would be stopped. This is a strange situation.

>>> I mailed you about the problems.

Which still exist, and pointed out the potential damage you could do. Perhaps you'd care to document the "charity" that this is in aid of. Getting more credits for your "team" is not what most people would regard as an example.

The url BOINC manager needs is normally on the project home page, it does not appear to be there. What is it please.

>>> we will wellcome

Welcome is spelt with a single "l". Wellcome, with two "l"s is a supermarket group in Hong Kong.

I saw this was going to run, so set the projects quota up, and updated my machines. I just looked to see how we were doing, and found we were not there at all. Aparently, it was necessary to register the team. I, of course, did not know that. Big thank you.

I've tried that BoincTasks thing, so far, I have not been able to get it to work. I can see this machine, I've done the bit on the other machine, come back here and scanned, and it finds itself alone. I'll have another look at it when I get a moment.

Looking at this, the use of that switch is discouraged, reasonable enough, but my arrangement means I have multiple BOINC Manager windows open on this machine so I can see what is happening without having to switch the screen from machine to machine, which means unplugging it and replugging to the other system, (mouse and keyboard are easy, I have a switch on my desk that allows this, but it doesn't do the screen), as such, the windows cannot be vast, the screen limits them. The window fills quite rapidly if MilkyWay is producing, Einstein also, but to a lesser extent.

I notice the tasks from here complete, upload and self report. Is that a server side thing, or can I get this self reporting behaviour at other projects manually?

When tasks "complete" ie. show 100%, they continue in the running state for several minutes.

Thats good. A lot of projects start up with a "one off" goal, then disappear when they think they have enough. Other people in the BOINC world may have started team pages with stats etc. then find that their source has suddenly dried up. It would not be a problem if the project said at the outset that it was going to be a short job.
The project here has, for me at least, run trouble free.

>>> I installed Microsoft Visual C ++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019,

Did you run the installer? Your results records look very much like mine from one of my machines, it was that I reran the install. Both machines are working now. I am Windows 8.1 though.

Good luck.

A little odd. On this machine, the work units come, crunch for a little over an hour and return, they are verified and credited. I added the project to the other, almost identical, computer under my desk. On that machine, units arrive, crunch for, typically, 10 seconds and return. They show as failed. The log does not show any error message. I've suspended the project on there.
