It is completely full of the following messages 1: SymGetLineFromAddr(): GetLastError = 126 1: SymGetLineFromAddr(): GetLastError = 126 1: SymGetLineFromAddr(): GetLastError = 126 1: SymGetLineFromAddr(): GetLastError = 126 1: SymGetLineFromAddr(): GetLastError = 126 1: SymGetLineFromAddr(): GetLastError = 126 1: SymGetLineFromAddr(): GetLastError = 126 1: SymGetLineFromAddr(): GetLastError = 126 1: SymGetLineFromAddr(): GetLastError = 126 I have shut down BOINC. So to questions, what should I do before starting BOINC back up? Can anything be done to limit the number of times an error message gets written? ID: 11715 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
