I just loaded Lubuntu onto an HP i3 machine. I did a fresh install, Mint was locking up (after a couple days of crunching).

Now, trying to attach a project, it says my email address is not found!

I had to create an account here, after having one, because my email address was not found. I have been crunching since 1992. Now I am suddenly missing?

I have been with the same team(TPU), same project (WCG) and same email, since I started Crunching!

I don't understand what is happening? Boinc ver. 7.14.2 (x64)

OK, so, I figured it out!!

I went to WCG site, and discovered that my email was different. I had been using a 'username', up until now! WCG, had changed their sign up's to email. I had an old email that I used...associated to my account.

Used that email, and it loaded up!!

When I try to add a new project for the first time after installation I get a message that I've entered the wrong password, but I haven't been prompted to enter a password yet. I tried to uninstal BOINC (including deleting the BOINC program and data folders) and reinstalling. This doesn't solve the problem.

Windows 10 version: 10.0.17763 Build 17763
i5 CPU on a Dell laptop
BOINC version 7.14.2
VirtualBox-6.0.12-133076-Win

I already have BOINC installed on another Windows 10 computer and 2 Android devices (phone a tablet). It installed with no problems and is running well on those devices. All 3 are using the same account and password, again, with no problems.
