Message Type: Error Message

This Message means that the BOINC Client Software attempted to read the State File but found that the data in the State File was corrupt or missing. In this case, the State File was found to be bad when working with the Result information recorded.

The corruption in the file could be the result of a number of problems. The most common one would be an interruption in the recording of information within the State File. This could be caused by:

  1. An un-graceful halting of the BOINC Daemon.
  2. Power outage
  3. "Cold" restart of the Participant's Computer.
