1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Windows 64-bit BOINC version 7.2.33 setup Crashed! (Message 51974)

Have not seen that issue under Windows 8.1 x64, but BOINC Manager won't start under a non-Admin Win8.1 logon. Believe I had done (as an admin): net localgroup boinc_admins {desired-non-admin-acct} /add, but maybe the update to Win 8.1 undid that. The tricky point about getting the user added is that one must Start, Windows System, rt-clk Command Prompt, Run as administrator. It is Not sufficient to Runas /user:{admin-acct} cmd.exe.

After getting the user added, it may be necessary to reboot, since BOINC Manager still hangs 'retrieving current status', after adding the user.

A different thread, that may be helpful: http://superuser.com/questions/125966/boinc-permissions-issue-running-as-non-admin-on-windows-pc
