Subject: no work downloaded (computer overcommitted)

Hi,
suddenly I don't get any new work downloaded by BOINC because BOINC 
claims the computer being overcommitted. I don't see any 
overcommitment. In fact there has never been less work than now. I 
have already tried deinstalling and reinstalling BOINC (4.45) to no 
avail. There are some errors in the log file; I don't know how to 
repair. It seems to be a problem with BOINC itself affecting not seti 
alone but all projets I attached. I would have tried to reinstall 
BOINC completely from scratch to another partition (and attach all 
projects again) but I don't want to loose the already done work for 
climateprediction and don't know how to achieve this. Any help 
please!?
Log file errors are:

(I don't know why there are invalid account files and how to repair; 
are these the reason?)

There ist one seti WU to upload (I know about the problems at seti), 
two WU to complete (deadlines 29.07./02.08), one climateprediction WU 
(deadline 31.01.2006), two Einstein@Home WU, no Predictor WUs (I tried 
detaching and reattaching, no change). The machine will run out of 
work today or tomorrow, I have set the preferences to 2,5 days of work 
and 4 GB hard disk (Boinc uses about 1 GB now), there is plenty of 
space left.

Bye
