This has happened before. I noticed another projects tasks also acting funny, but did not abort them, just shut down BOINC and restarted. Anyone know why this is happening?

In previous versions, they had the problem of stuck work units that ran indefinitely; search for "long runners". I haven't seen it for a long time though. Chances are, it just got stuck on you system. Try a reboot. ID: 3802 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
