Title basically says it all. My notebook has done 3 tunescan WU's today and is totally zooming threw them (no errors, just doing them extremely quickly) and I'm getting something like 1-3 credit for them. I check the graphics and there 1,000,000 turns, but the turns it is doing is VERY fast, much faster than this system I have now which is an AMD Duron.

My notebook has a mobile AMD Athlon XP 1900+, and is about 1 and a half years old.

Thanks in advance.

Credits are granted for CPU operations applied to the task. It is quite possible that you got a few unstable runs that ended early because they ran out of particles. In this case, there is nothing left to run around the track, but the answer is already in place -- this configuration cannot be used, and must be avoided.
