This started with version 4.46 of sixtrack. When one job finishes, the BOINC console shows the next "running" but always with 0 CPU time. This problem clears with a restart, but I'm not about to restart my computer after every WU finishes.

Computer details:
Emachines T2082 with Athlon 2000+ XP CPU, 256 MB RAM, running Windows XP SP2.

Note: I installed SP2 before BOINC.

What version of BOINC are you running?

I had this problem with 4.10 but haven't seen it on 4.09(which is what I'm running)

Have you checked with the task manager if the science app is using any CPU time or if it's just idling?

Are you on dial up?

It sounds like the lockup the 4.xx clients experience when it tries to contact the servers and you are offline.

It doesn't usually take a full restart though. Just exit and restart the client.

I was running v. 4.05 Beta. Upgrading to 4.09 cleared the problem and introduced others. :-( It would be nice if BOINC had an automatic upgrade or upgrade notification mechanism.
