Since that time I have been unable to produce any results. I am not sure why. I am a long time account holder with WorldCommunity Grid, Rosetta and SETI. This is the first time in running the software for probably 4-5 years that I have been unable to produce any analysis. Hardware: ASUS mainboard AMD 64x2 4400+ 2 GB RAM Nvidia 7800 video card with latest drivers Creative X-Fi card I am behind a Linksys WRT54GL via Ethernet.

Since everything seems to be toast, uninstall BOINC, delete the directory and reinstall. How were you installing? Service, shared, single? Using an administrator account to install and to run?

I am the sole user of this computer and the administrator. There is only one account. I use Comodo Personal firewall, latest version. I closed it down during the last installation to see if it was the problem, and that did not help. I just closed it down again. I installed as a single-user installation as I have always done. I just uninstalled, deleted the directory, and reinstalled as you suggested. For simplicity, I just attached to SETI.

You explicitly set them to allowed in Comodo? I mean, do read the thread I linked to, that person was also using Comodo. The last time I tried Comodo, wanting to get rid of it, almost took a reinstall of Windows (I had to trawl though the registry by hand). You could try asking on their forums, but it never helped me much. ID: 17524 ·

Comodo is so complex I couldn't really figure out what settings to do. BOINC was listed as a trusted application. So I uninstalled it and immediately BOINC started working (after a reboot). So I installed Online Armor Free which seems to be highly rated and it is compatible with BOINC. FYI. PS Maybe someone should add this experience to the FAQ. Thanks. ID: 17525 ·
