Thanks for getting back to me, but instead of trying to troubleshoot the problem, I solved the problem by uninstalling the BOINC software, and then reinstalling it. This seems to have worked. Thanks again for replying to my post for help. But the problem now seems to be solved.

I hope that I am posting this request for help in the correct place. I need some help with the BOINC software. I was running the SETI at home software when I started getting the message "Boinc is not running". It has been saying this for a few days now. I would really appreciate any help that anyone might offer. I'm running Windows 7 professional. Also, if I'm not posting this question in the correct forum, please let me know, so that I'll know better next time.

Any help is greatly appreciated,
Carl

My computer is a new machine running Windows 7 professional 64 bit. It has an Intel i5 processor, 8 Meg of RAM, with a 2 TB hard drive. I am running BOINC Manager 7.0.64

I downloaded BOINC and signed up with SETI@home a few days ago. It worked great. No problem, at first. I was very happy. Therefore, I know that this computer, its drivers, software, etc., are compatible with BONIC.

Then, after a few hours of working great, it lost its connection to the server and stopped working. It never was able to connect again, even though it keeps trying. I deleted the BOINC software and reinstalled it several times. This did not help. When I restall, it doesn't even give the chance to select a project. It never asks me to select one. In the BOINC manager advanced view, under projects, all command boxes are grayed out. The tasks tab shows no tasks. The disk tab shows "no projects: 0 bytes used". The event log is blank. I keep getting a pop up box which says "The BOINC client has exited unexpectedly 3 times within the last 3 minutes". Then it asks me if I would like to try to reconnect. But it can't. It is as if I am not connect to the internet.

Please note that my internet connection works fine. I can go to any website, download anything I want, etc. without any problem. I disabled the Windows firewall. It didn't help. The simplest way to describe the BOINC client is that it is just dead. It runs, but can not connect to a server, even though it keeps trying. But it did work very well with SETI@home for a few hours, before it died. Deleting and downloading the software again does not help.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. I don't know if I'm supposed to give my email address in this message, but here it is: zpntenergy@aol.com
