Tobi, which of your five computers got this error? There may be a trend if it was the Pentium running Linux; the error may have been generated in the math processor of the chip or some IO glitch that it didn't cope with.

Harri, the error codes are put out by the OS although generated by the application for a variety of reasons from hardware failure to software bugs. You might find lists on the Microsoft web site; they come in many flavors. Since is was near the end of the calculation, my guess is that is was some IO error. You seem to have plenty of RAM; what mobo are you using and what is the chipset?

I'm using the default of 0.1 days. If I connect less often does that give me more work in advance?

What is done to get more than four WUs (when they become available again)? What preference setting is responsible?

Many thanks. It's time to start using my two sons idle CPUs.

EDIT: I guess 3 more will be better.

If I want to install LHC on other computers on my LAN, can I use the same Project URL and Account key?
