Hi

I have BOINC 6.2.18 on my laptop (Win XP Pro SP3).

Last night and this afternoon, the service terminated unexpectedly, and I need to restart BOINC manager to restart the service.

Here is the error log

I also found that whenever BOINC service starts, there will be two log in system log.

First one:

You also get this error when you kill the service by killing boinc.exe in Task Manager. Are you sure that didn't happen?

You can go to the services applet (start->run->services.msc->OK), find BOINC, right click it, properties, Recovery. On first, second and following errors, set it to restart the service. OK out.

The other two messages are informational and benign.

No, I never kill boinc.exe in Task Manager, it terminiated itself.
