time estimation

Hello guys,
I have a strange problem: my estimated CPU time for each WU is astronomically high. WUs with credit 112-113 takes about 7.5-8 hours on my PC (PentiumD 930, GHz) and WUs with credit 12-13 takes about 45-50 minutes. Even though WUs with credit 112 are estimated to be done in 1200 hours, which is nonsense, because it should be about 8 hours. The astronomical value 1200 hours is only a guess which decreases very quickly - every second it reduces three minutes. As a result the WU is really done in 7.5 hours, but the astronomical and unreal estimation of time bothers me. My account settings can not do this kind of bug. Can anyone help?

I would guess that your duration correction factor got messed up. It will fix itself automatically eventually. However with as far off as yours seems to be that may take too long. So editing the client_state.xml file is likely the best choice.
Exit BOINC completely.
Open client_state.xml in a text editor.
Find the following tag pair for the problem project:
1.0
Change the number there to "1.0".
Save the file as plain text.
Be careful a bad edit can trash the entire install. Good Luck.
