Potential Future Problem? [No]

Post by anko1 »

I was reading another thread and someone suggested looking in the work folder to see if there was a wuresults file to see if they could recover some work on a lost unit. This got me curious as I've botched a couple of units in my attempts to set up another client, so I looked in the work folder of my console client. No such luck as to find a results file, but I did notice that I had a bunch of files for WU 7 when I'm on WU 9 now. Looking at the log, I think the error happened when my computer restarted b/c of a Windows update and I forgot that I'd changed my console to service mode. Since I forgot that it was going to restart in the service mode, I tried to restart it manually and lost a unit. My question is: will I run into a problem next time the download comes back to queue 7? I don't think so, b/c my new 7 finished and got sent in, but I was wondering what, if anything, I should do with the files for the (I presume) old 7? Here's the log around that incident:

Nobody has ever reported a problem from left over files. I'm quite certain that the next time you receive a WU in queue position 7, the files will be overwritten by the files of the new WU. You might want to check who owns those files in case more than one Windows User is involved. Since you're on Windows XP, that's not likely to be a problem, but it could be for those who are using Visa's UAC.

I don't see any problems in the log you posted, however. Unit 7 is restarted several times but then it is processed to completion and it did receive credit.

Hi anko1 (team 47815),
Your WU (P892 R7 C472 G6) was added to the stats database on 2008-01-11 02:47:50 for 165 points of credit.

Thanks, Bruce. You're right, another user is not a problem on my computer. It's just me. :D
