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

I can't help with your problem but I'm running all the same projects. I've 
been running SETI for quite a while, returned to climateprediction & 
Einstein 2 days ago & created an account for ProteinPredictor at the same 
time. Einstein has BOINC hung & is possibly what's using 100% of my CPU time 
to do it.
