I joined the project yesterday. A workunit with a projected time of 4 hours has been running but is still at zero percent.

I aborted the task to see if another does the same thing. |

I aborted the task to see if another does the same thing. New work unit is doing the same thing. I have Suspened Docking so that Seti can get some work done while this gets figured out or I withdraw from the project. Perhaps there is an issue with compat. with my system. |

Still we must look into this issue. What is the job name you had?

What chipset does your motherboard use and is it 32 or 64 bit version of Windoze 7 you are using? Some Intel chipsets seem to have an issue with Docking when running W7 x84. |

Can you let me know the host id of the compute with problem? I can only see two hosts under your user name, and both of them are not active in the last 30 days.

If you click "My Account", and then go to "Computers on this account" and click "View", click "Show All Computers", the number in the "Computer ID" column is the host id, and you can click it and see the detail information and check which one has been working on the work units. I can only see 2 computers in your account, and they have not been active for 2 years. Can you please check? Thanks!

I checked the computer, but it does not shown any recent workunit, can you abort the ones that stay 0 progress and reset the project to see if it gets any new workunit? Thanks! |

Ive reset my computer a few times but the work units still don't progress. |

I've just noticed I have the same problem on 2 of my 3 computers. Two units (one on each computer) wasted 23 hours of time with 0% progress before I stopped them. They were obviously ready to run forever. I am sorry but I have to give up Docking until fixed.

It looks to me that the work units have problems running on Intel processor.

It seems I'm getting the same problem...the time remaining column is expended, there is zero progress in the progress bar, and the two WU's I started have been crunching for over 6 hours. If I recall this may be the reason I detached from Docking the last time. It is oviously a serious problem that needs fixing. Maybe docking isn't up to speed with recent BOINC client updates or versions. All of my other projects run just fine without any such errors.

I just rejoined the project and found it was the reason why I previously terminated this project. Zero progress bar, WU's not terminating the process, etc.

Try detaching the project, then re-attach without the screensaver component.

Hello, Simba123.
Try detaching the project, then re-attach without the screensaver component. What should I do to "re-attach without the screensaver component"? Have these computers been running all the time and have just started this problem, or have you just linked them to the project? I just linked these machines to this project. Host #1 (Core i3-380M) have been running fine since Oct 26,2011. Host #2 (Core i7-3770) have been always 0% progress since May 02,2012. |

Well there is a data point for the Project managers, This is not a new problem, but it seems to only crop up in certain projects with certain hardware configurations. May be a PITA to diagnose this one.

Since I moved from XP to windows 7 all docking wu fail to progress and I am forced abort them after the expected run time is exceeded with 0% completed. |

Since I moved from XP to windows 7 all docking wu fail to progress and I am forced abort them after the expected run time is exceeded with 0% completed. That's strange. Are you running the 64 or 32 bit Windows version? Also, could you list your other hardware? As mentioned earlier, It does seem that the Docking program does have issues with certain hardware/software combinations. Your information could help track it down. If you could list your motherboard, cpu, ram brand & capacity, any overclocks & GPU that would assist greatly. Also, is your Windows fully up to date with all patches etc? Same question for your motherboard drivers and BIOS. |

Don't see why hardware would be a problem since Bonic ran very well for over 3 years under XP. I am running the 32 bit version of windows 7 which is up to date. Have dialed back to Bionic version 6.12.34 and Docking still fails to progress. Don't know windows 7 well enough to extract the hardware info you are requesting please provide a step by step.

Simba, check your inbox, I sent the spec's there Thanks Chip, It seems that some older 45nm CPUs and Windows 7 do not work with Docking. Obviously your hardware works with Docking as you've used this machine under Windows XP for 3 years without issue. So there is something about Windows 7. About the only thing I can suggest is that you go to Dell.com and download all the latest drivers for your motherboard. Annoyingly dell does not let me post a link to the correct screen. By the looks of it you have an Optiplex 780, if you can find the service tag sticker on the machine, you'll be able to enter that number in and it will give you the download options. otherwise search under 'optiplex 780' and it should come up. I can't say this will fix anything, but it might. |

The downloads are finished and Docking still won't progress. I just aborted two wu that had run for more than a hour and reported 0.00% complete. I reset Docking and marked it for no new tasks. Wish you well and better luck with Windows 8.
