Message 53373 - Posted: 27 Mar 2014, 20:42:38 UTC

I have been trying to log in to my account and am told none exists! I had to create a new account to post here today. Did something occur in my absence? What happened to my credits? It's no big deal but I would have appreciated a heads up.

Now for the initial reason for visiting the Problems Board:
I loaded BOINC onto my Tablet/PC OS = Win 8. After installation a reboot was required for BOINC to run properly. From this point forward I receive a BOINC Manager alert informing me that "A reboot is required in order for BOINC to run properly. Please reboot your computer and try again." This goes on ad nauseum.

I would appreciate enlightenment.

We are the BOINC forums, not a project forums such as Seti, Einstein, Climateprediction.net, or other. So there are no credits here. See under my name? No credits, no RAC. No need to add the URL https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/ to BOINC either, as there is nothing done here.

I would appreciate enlightenment.

Exit BOINC if it's running.
Go to the Programs directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\BOINC\ or C:\Program Files (x86)\BOINC\ depending on version installed and bitness of the OS) and remove the RebootPending.txt file. Then (re)start BOINC.

Thank you Jord. That did the trick.
About the other issue, I am set up with several projects that have somehow been lost! Climatepredict, Einstein,LHC@home, Milkyway@home, Orbit@home, Seti@home and Test4theory@home. My accounts are gone!!! Can you help me reclaim my old account?

Thank you
