Why don't I have any credit?
In order to get credit, the successful results from your computer have to be validated. This means that they are automatically compared to the results from at least two other computers, doing the same work. It may take some time (often a week to ten days) before other machines have been sent (and have completed) the work. If your machine is generating successful results, just be patient, and keep running Einstein@Home. Eventually the credits will start to accumulate!
If you want to see the status of your jobs, go to Your Account and follow the links labeled 'Pending Credit' and 'Results'. Note that once you have returned a successful result, you WILL eventually get credit for it, provided that the result is determined to be valid. Once a successful result from your machine is registered on this page, it's like money in the bank. You might have to wait a while to get credit, but once enough other successful results have been returned, and your result is found to be valid, you will get credit for it. The deadlines that you see on this page are 'individual', meaning that each workunit assigned to a different machine or user has its own deadline.
Note that from time to time (less than 1% of the time) results that are in fact correct will get marked as invalid, and you will not get credit. This is because our validator, the program that compares results, is not perfect. So if you have an occaisonal invalid result, don't worry.
In order to help the project to complete its work and others (and yourself) to get credit quickly, try to make sure that your computer doesn't download more work than it can complete by the deadline. Do this by setting a small value (for example, 0.5 day) in your preferences, for the value of 'Connect to network about every X days'. This will ensure that your computer doesn't download more days of work than it can complete. This helps, because work which is not completed by the deadline is considered 'overdue' by the Einstein@Home scheduler, and it will issue a duplicate workunit to another machine, wasting resources.

Why does the UD Agent lose all of my work and download a new work unit if Windows crashes?
This occurrence is not unique to the UD Agent, though it is visible because of the way that the UD Agent works. When the Operating System completely freezes and power to the computer must be cut (a forceful/hard boot is performed) open files are mishandled and often corrupted. This occurs in virtually all operating systems, and can lead to corruption of open program files, or even of the operating system itself. The UD Agent performs a check of its files when it is started and if they have been damaged, for example during a hard reboot, then it will discard them and download a new work unit.
...u UD mi to robieva chyby hlavne vtedy, keD mam moc pretaktovany procesor...pri BOINC sa mi to este nestalo...
