Thank you for your lightning fast response.
Problem solved. I have the excellent Eset Security Suite, with quite restrictive firewall settings.
Things are working now I've added rules to allow boinc.exe to access ports 31416 I also added port 80, so it could access projects.
Following your advice I'll move it to another directory

When I installed BOINC - on a Vista PC :(
boinc.exe is running ok, but the manager can't attach to the client - eg. I can't attach to a project, when I try I get this message :

BOINC Manager is not currently connected to a BOINC client

Selecting localhost as the attached computer, and using the default password/deleting/copying the content of gui_rpc_auth.cfg into the password field makes no difference.

I've installed both as administrator & normal user, and with single-user & multi-user options.
