Viktor said " You could give them different profiles and make them communicate and run at different times. But, I am still not sure how this could be happening in your setup without being there in person to poke around for clues. "

... Did that two days ago before when we still thought it was a network problem. Turns out to have been a loose memory bank - microsoft's memory check ran all night and the two memory banks I have are now stable (just reseated them)... All Agents are running (Two PCs and a laptop) with no "interbugering around" ....

It must have been coincidence, that when I moved the two PCs next to eachother I observed the crash of #2 Agent when #1 Agent was comunicating. This made me mislead all of you (and myself).

Everything stable now. Thanks.

Now I am just trying to get the CPU temperature in the Toshiba laptop down. It is running now running at 56 degrees - 100% power. It turns out that SpeedFan had not calibrated the scale correctly. I therefore switched everything off, let if cool down to room temperature and the calibrated SpeedFan when everything was cold - giving +5 degrees for the processor warming up while loading windows - it is quite amaizing how volitile the temperature of the Toshiba laptop is. Does anyone else use SpeedFan on a Toshiba Laptop? I will be interested to know if they can seen fan speeds - I canot.

My Toshiba Satelllite is new and has a menu item called "Toshiba Console" In the "Console" window, there is a "Power Managment" window. In there you can control all kinds of things including CPU "Speed". Your choices are 1,2,3 or 4. I generally leave it on 2 (which takes the 3.2Ghz P4 down quite a bit...I have not tested) and cools it down to the point that the fan just idles. In a cold room (65-70 F) I can run it at "3" with the fan running slow. That is all about I know about it as I have never messed with it much. I just use it when I am on the road.

I am loosing data (points) from one of my PCs.

I run two PCs 24/7. One is dedicated to the wcg project and the other one is used by me during the day. The unit dedicated to the wcg has over the last two weeks dropped its average point generation from around 500 - 600 to aaround 250. The PC is on all the time, is not reeboting (i.e. loosing data) and has no new additional work load. Its ranking in the AGENT is still the same as it was a month go. At the end of a work unit, it sends it back data to the grid and the total number of points change. However when I look at the device statistics, I do not see the all these points (not even the following day after update). As a result, my average daily points have dropped and the worst things is that the data is being crunched, processed delivered and oopps..... GONE!

May I ask an Admin to look at: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ms/device/v...istory.do?deviceId=123509

and try to identify where the data is going ... or not going if that is the case.


PS I decided to post this new problem as a new thread just in case they are related.

RobSab, please email support (attn Viktors) and give your device id number as shown on your preferences window of your agent. Then I'll be able to look up your device and see if there is anything unusual at this end. Thanks.

Thankyou joatman - very useful.... I am very grateful as I didn't think anyone had even noticed the post - or maybe everyone but you has been experiencing this behaviour of their browser and assumed that "that is the way it works!"

Thanks.
