UnInstalled Version 7.0.28. Deleted hidden data folder. Rebooted.
Installed 7.0.48.
Issue persists.

Firewalls are off. I see nothing to point me to a problem. The event viewer shows almost no errors at all.
I see an error for: Session "Circular Kernel Context Logger" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000035
and
Warning 2/9/2013 12:47:34 PM DNS Client Events 1014 None
and
Warning 2/9/2013 12:47:34 PM DNS Client Events 1014 None
none of those seem to be related to Boinc

I open Boinc manager and it just says "Retrieving current status"


Version 7 wont even let me attach projects, it is just on reconnecting to client...Retrieving current status. Advanced view says connecting to localhost.
I am not saying it is a software issue with version 7 but its is a software issue of something...windows, Boinc design oversight, some incompatible background software running somewhere. Even if it is not a widespread issue something very minor could be different in my registry or program layout or something that is causing this.

I am running avast free version and windows firewall. Operating system is windows 7 64 Ultimate.
I have a 2nd partition on this same machine running windows 8 with Avast and Boinc works fine. All my other hundreds of applications work fine. My windows 7 OS is fully patched.
Last time I tried version 6 it worked...I am probably going to try it again.

Those files are blank and the event viewer doesn't appear to have any noticeable incidents.

I tried this and my problem is not resolved.

Their are other threads on this same/similar problem that are also unresolved is it possible their is a design flaw with version 7?

Is their any registry changes I could make?

I am having this same issue.

My thread is pretty much the same problem except I am using windows 7. Did anyone get a fix for this?

It has to be an issue with boinc 7 because 6 and 5 work fine.

Boinc manager 7.0.28 wont connect on one machine running windows 7. I have two gaming rigs, one with windows 7 64 bit that Boinc runs on just fine and the other one Boinc was running on just fine until three days ago.

I can get it to work if I downgrade to version 5 or 6 but any version 7 will not work. Also on this rig I have a partition with windows 8 on it and boinc runs fine on that partition. So it runs fine on the other windows box and the other partition but on this install when I try to run it it just says...

"Retrieving current status" or in advanced view "connecting to localhost"
