I installed BOINC on my administrator account (which I only use to install new programs and change system settings), but want to run it on the standard user account that I normally use. When I try to run it with the standard user, I get this error:

You currently are not authorized to manage the client. Please contact your administartor to add you to the 'boinc_users' local user group.

How do I do that? Forgive me, I'm new to Windows 7.

I'm still getting the same error message. The windows 7 instructions in the link are a little odd. They say

In Windows 7 the command prompt can be found at:
Start->All Programs->Accessories->Run.

However, there is an item called "command prompt" under accessories as well as an item called "run". I tried both, while logged in as administrator. When I put the command into run, a little window pops up and dissapears too fast to be read. When I put the command into command prompt, I get an error message:

System error 5 has occurred.

Access is denied.

Also confusing, the instructions say to add the user to the group "boinc_admins" while the origional error message says ask the administrator to add you to "boinc_users". I tried both with the same result.

I think you have to right-click the link and choose "run in admin mode" or some such, even when logged in as administrator.

Brilliant. That fixed it! Thanks
