Setiathome: "Unknown Fatal Error"

[earthman]

Whenever I try to run Seti 3.07 on my GF's computer I get this error "Unknown Fatal Error: 100". Does anyone know whats causing this? This is a fresh install of WinME on a Duron 1000 with 384megs RAM.

earthman, Have you read this website yet?

Hmm,don't know what that means ,at what stage does this error occur?

 

[Spacehead]

I've seen several posts on the SETI@home msg. boards lately about this same thing.
I haven't seen any answers for it either, sorry.

Let us know if you find out something.

This happens whenever you try to start the client, within about 3-4 seconds.

I bet you wouldn't have any problems with the CLI CLIENT. Click on the TeAm AnandTech SETI in my sig and follow those directions. You will need to completely uninstall and remove the GUI CLIENT from the computer. 😉

I installed the CLI client and it seems to be working.
The DOS window showed the same error though till I deleted all the .sah files and got a new work unit...maybe the WU was corrupt?

That's sounds like a good guess ,or maybe 1 of the other sah files, I better you'd find that the GUI 1 would work now too...........not that you would really want that slower client😉
