The way to kill an existing WU and not get it right back again is to eliminate all traces of it and the place where they hide is invariably in the AppData folder a couple layers deeper than that. Depends on what ver of Windows but it's generally in Users/(administrator or one of the Users)(sometimes then /Programs but usually not/AppData/FahClient/Work/then a couple or up to a few numbered folders, as in /00 /01/ /02 Look in the log.txt file (or variation on that name) within those numbered folders for the log that matches where your client had progressed to. Once you find the right numbered folder, delete that whole folder. Bye bye all traces of that slot so that WU can't be sent right back to you. I'd say 3-103 ppd for a year on a machine that could otherwise do good science is sufficient grounds to deviate from project guidelines.

And I'm sure I must have misread it, I know you have better judgement than this, you didn't say something about zooming or something did you? I'm sure I'm just so tired that I was hallucinating or something. I've decided that's grounds for not having to kill everybody though, just in case you did I would want everybody around to see just how foolish it is to talk about zooming anywhere in any proximity to me, silly silly girl.

Thanks, ArVee!

All three of these would have started after 7:00 p.m. I know I had one earlier also, but then when it finished, the next work unit was different - I think all of them were - when I went to bed last night - they were back to their normal 70,000 + points for Hollywood, 50,000 + points on Kitt, and Baby Blue showing up at 61,000 points for sporting her newly installed upgrade from the 260 that she had had.

That's part of the frustration - I was quietly going to zoom back into the lead again after yesterday morning's installation of a new power supply so I could install a 660 ti in Baby Blue. Power supply has to sit on top of her as there's not enough room for it in the case once the video card was installed - but hey - there's nothing wrong with that - at least she was purring away. Then this morning I wake up to find all 3 were slowed down with the 8018s. So my dreamed of impressive zoom went down the tubes. Oh well - pride goeth before a fall. (sigh)

Meanwhile - back at the church, Dreamer was turned off - likely got turned off Tuesday following a funeral and someone not realizing she's supposed to be left on - but she's back up and running now.

I was going to ask if there was any way to kick out a specific work unit without affecting the other one running. Kitt has one on his CPU that started out saying he would average 3 points a day on it for the next 323 days to complete it - that's now been reduced to just over 10 days for something like 108 points per day

I'm heading in to see what Hollywood picked up this round - she was just about finished with her 8018 and should have started a new unit by now.

Sun :-)
