{...} I do insist on running screen savers.

The graphic is freezing, meaning, I assume, that the WU is a dead fish. {...}

{...}
I've also had to do a hard shutdown and reboot several times recently after the RAH screen saver apparently locked up the machine. {...}

having trouble with the minirosetta v1.28 it keeps locking up to where i have to either ctrl,alt,delete then end the program or to where i hit the windows button then close the program is there a fix for this once this has happened the screen saver is not doing anything thus resulting in the previous mention actions.


thank you

So the message REALLY is, DO NOT SHUTDOWN A COMPUTER THAT IS WORKING ON ROSETTA. TO LOSE POWER IN ANY FORM OR FASHION, AND THE LIKELIHOOD IS VERY VERY HIGH THAT YOU WILL LOSE ALL WORK ON THAT WORKUNIT!!!

Should be able to get a new one tomorrow night.

It would be nice to get more information about this problem. {...}

I have RAC of over 7, so Rosetta has some experience with how much time is required. My losses are usually more like 3 hours, vs the 1 to 2 hours quoted here.

I disagree somewhat with the moderator's comments. If I do a orderly shutdown, Suspending Rosetta, then Exiting BOINC, then Shutdown XP, powerup at a new location, restart BOINC, Resume Rosetta, this SHOULD restart AT or close to the exit, i.e. if we are at 92% complete, if should restart at 92% or very very close to that. Most of the time, it goes to 0.0%

It would be nice to get more information about this problem. Is it the screensaver application that is locked up or is it the minirosetta application which may effect the screensaver? The screensaver application name starts with "minirosetta_graphics".

I've done the same thing for several days now. In frustration also aborted all the mini rosetta jobs...

I'm having problems with the Rosetta mini screensaver.

while I hope I'm wrong, it's possible that folks are leaving for Folding@Home. F@H just added nVidia cards and there is considerable excitement around F@H. They are now getting over 700 teraflops from GPUs alone (not counting PS3)
