What does it mean ? Zero point result ?

2 results returned after 19 seconds computation with 0 points awarded means a serious error is causing the program to abort. This is probably a hardware error on your computer.
There are several things to try. A complete reinstall is the first step. You will have to rename the computer, giving it a second device name, while remembering to check the 'previous member' box during the installation so that you can sign in with your current password. (Reboot your computer before doing this in case it is a software problem with the OS rather than a hardware problem.) Second, look at the 'Useful Utilities' thread at http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=2490 and download the diagnostic programs, in particular: 2) CPU Tester: http://7byte.com/index.php?page=download General diagnostic program 3) Memory Tester: http://www.memtest86.com/ Memory diagnostic program Third, tell us about your system and describe the behavior of the World Community Grid software. Actually, there is no special order in which to do this. All 3 methods have their uses for solving problems. mycrofth |

The Scenic Mobile 500 has been out for a while. A quick search brings me a lot of info on the 510 and later models. Since I am lazy, I will just ask. Does the Agent see 128 MB RAM on your system, or is some of it allocated to video? The minimum requirements ( http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/viewTopic.do?shortName=minimumreq ) include a 128 MB minimum. But I do not think that the activity you describe (returning results too soon) could be caused by this. It still sounds like a hardware problem, perhaps a memory error.

It sounds like the workunits are aborting for some reason.
----------------------------------------How much virtual memory do you have? The current project allocates 200MB of RAM, so unless you have quite a bit of virtual RAM (since you only have 128MB of physical RAM), the processes will start, then abort.

My virtual memory is 300 MB *** defined...
I have done full hardware check and there is no problem !? It was strange program behaviour. Is there any mechanism to prevent or discard these zero flase results from Grid Data bases ? |

I trust the admins etc aren't entirely discounting the possibility of the problem being at the project end rather than at user level.
For months grid did that and looked what happened there?  Just making the point that til the cause is confirmed, nothing should be discounted. |

Re: [ My virtual memory is 300 MB *** defined...]
Try increasing your virtual memory limit by at least 200MB. If the total is set to 300MB, Rosetta allocates about 200MB which leaves only 100MB for everything else. This is usually not enough and may cause Rosetta and possibly other things to crash. |
