After 7:03:45 (time) and 7.29% it's doing nothing. For four hours, at least. I can pause it and something else will run. What should I do? Wait? Abort the run? Let me know.

Comp specs: Intel 3.06GHz (HT) 512MB RAM, WIN XP SP2 That type of WU will run longer than you time setting, I would estimate that it might run 9 - 10 hours based on your time setting and the type of WU. But I am only gussing as to which one you are talking about. I think I found the right system, but it has two WUs running, and I assume it it the oldest of the two.

This WU: PRODUCTION_ABINITIO_INCREASECYCLES50_1who__317_631_0 So, let it run? I gave the system two days, I think... ID: 11286 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I find that instead of aborting, just close BOINC itself out. Wait a minute and then restart.
