I have a Win7 Pro 64 bit desktop, running BOINC 7.6.22. The only project I run is Rosetta@home. It is not installed as a service.

For the last few days I get the screen saver message "no tasks running." The BOINC manager shows the Rosetta project, but all it says is "Communication deferred <time>" - <time> always starts at 24 hours and counts backward. When I manually update the project it tries to communicate and then goes to "communication deferred."

The logs aren't helpful except for stderrgui.text, last updated 7/11/16, 4 days ago. Below are the first 104 lines of that file. The file is full of crash dumps which go back as far as January 2015. The extract below shows the latest dump dated 7/11/16. The only other log file updated in 2016 is stderrscrgfx.txt, which just shows the screen saver turning on and off. I have uninstalled and reinstalled BOINC with no effect on this. Suggestions?
