I recently reinstalled Windows Vista and upgraded to BOINC ver. 6.12.34 from an older version. I've tried to add projects as an existing member, but it keeps saying "Login Failed", even though I'm certain the login info is correct.

Why is this happening? Even after I've changed my password it won't let me add projects, but I can access my account on the project webpages (e.g. I can access my account at eON but I can't add the project to Boinc).

Very simple thing, but did you allow BOINC through your firewall again?
Boinc.exe needs access to the internet on TCP port 80 and 443 plus localhost access on TCP 31416
Boincmgr.exe needs localhost access on TCP 31416.
