Why? It's sure has reported 49 results, as that should be some weeks worth of jobs..

And yes, the machine has been restarted 3 times since saturday jun-29

The usual daily quota is 100 tasks per CPU per 24 hours. If you have only 49, you have returned 51 errors. To be able to get more than those in you first have to check this computer, see why it returns only errors.

Now I tried to look up your username on Seti@Home, it's there but has no computers attached. So I would like you to log in on Seti (with the email address and password you used to sign up there) and post the same thing in this forum.

Else give a link to your computer ID at Seti.

Return tasks without errors. As soon as you do that, your daily quota doubles with each correctly returned task.

I'll have to wait until Seti's Tuesday maintenance is over before I can see your host and check what might be ailing it.

OK, found your problem.

They all end with this error:
<message>
- exit code -4 (0xfffffffc)
</message>
<stderr_txt>
SETI@home error -4 Can't allocate memory
!data
File: ../seti.cpp
Line: 800
</stderr_txt>


See this FAQ for what you can do to fix this problem.

Sorry for not returning earlier..
The problem has somehow resolved itself, as I haven't done anything..
