No task available

Computer 3031662 has produced nothing but errors for days and is now limited to one task per day until it returns valid results. This looks like a Windows or NVIDIA driver problem to me, I can't help you there.
Computer 11589237 is out of disk space.

floyd said "Computer 3031662 has produced nothing but errors for days and is now limited to one task per day until it returns valid results." this is a Boinc thing and is designed to keep the Project servers from sending task after task after task to computers that aren't returning valid units.

floyd also said "Computer 11589237 is out of disk space." This is a simple fix if you go into the Boinc Manager on that pc and adjust the disk settings to allow Boinc more space. The other option is to reduce the number of projects you have on the pc as even if you aren't actively crunching for a project some use large amounts of disk space.

To change the disk settings, do a double click on the Boinc icon under the up arrows down by the clock, then click Tools, computing preferences and then click on the disk and memory usage tab. When you are done giving Boinc more space make sure you click on the OK tab at the bottom of the page to save the settings.

Be aware that this will make Boinc on that machine use local preference settings and they always override the web based settings. If you're used to change your setting via the web page then do that instead of through Boinc manager.
To revert to web based setting click the "Clear" button in Boinc managers computing preferences window.

Thanks for saying that!! I have gotten so used to doing it all locally I had forgotten that others do not always do it that way.
