Can I cancel a WU and Get another one.

Post by zmyth770 »

Well im new to folding, 48-60 hours so far, but im stuck on WU 2611 run 0, clone 186, Gen 161, Core 78.

Ive been on this WU for like 32 hours now, and whenever it gets to 72/250 my computer crashes, So i have to restart the computer and start from 0/250 agen, this has happened 3 times so far, So is there anything i can do to change the WU?

Yes, you can delete the work folder inside the client folder, delete the unitinfo.txt file, and the queue.dat file if it's a GPU client.
yes, you can delete same files in the client folder for the SMP clients as well. With SMP you will have to go to task manager and find the smpd.exe file under process and highlightand terminate 3 times. then wait 5 min and restart client.

You can follow the exact same procedure from the GPU client for the CPU client (the one you're using) to delete the WU (SMP does not apply to you since you're running 2611, a uniprocessor WU). Make sure you check your log files after restarting the client to see if the server reassigned the WU; this may happen a few times, so you may have to repeat the deletion procedure a couple of times.

It's better you post your log file (inside tags) though so we are better able to diagnose your problem.
