Hi,

I have two workunits that appear to be finished but somehow stuck.

They say "100.000%" under "Progress" and "---" under "To Completion", but they remain at "Running, high priority".

I have restarted the computer, restarted BOINC, and tried to suspend/resume, and to update the project, but the units stay the same.

The other info:
I am attempting to help test, running BOINC Manager pre-release 6.2.2 (32-bit Windows) on my Vista laptop.

It is set to run always.

Here is the startup information messages:

Weird, your computer's result list does not mention any uncrunched WUs 5 days ago...?? Additionally while looking around, I've not noticed any LHC task taking more than few seconds. I assume they do not checkpoint and as they are somehow stuck, they keep running (do they actually consume any CPU time?), or report being in a running state.

I'd recommend suspending them and waiting for response from LHC site. (If noone will be interested in the runaway tasks for few more days - then abort them.)

I am attempting to help test, running BOINC Manager pre-release 6.2.2 (32-bit Windows) on my Vista laptop.

You might want to take a look at the BOINC alpha test site...
