Forgot to mention all three installs were from different downloads. Not one file used on all three systems. The two home systems downloaded from my home network and the laptop downloaded from the local DaryQueen network.

I run RNA World which uses V-Box and as for the error all that it said was " It appears VBox did not install correctly" no error code or anything else listed and BOINC didn't list an error but would only connect to two projects. The rest came back with a login error but only one (seti) was down for real. after the uninstall and install of the older version all was fine. Should I quit here or try the install as an upgrade to the current install? Also not listed before was this was a clean install on all three systems after a fresh win install and update. I find doing a clean win install about every year keeps things running smooth.

I had a problem with BOINC 7.4.27 on all three of my machines.
V-Box would not install correctly and BOINC manager would not let me connect to some of my projects ( like WCG ).
I uninstalled what was installed of V-Box and BOINC then installed Ver. 7.2.42
on all three and all went fine.

System 1
Dell Precision T5400 Workstation
Win 7 Pro SP1 x64
NVidia GTX650
16 Gb EEC ram
Twin Intel Xeon Quad core 2.33Ghz cpus

System 2
HP DV7 laptop
Win 7 Home Premium SP1 x64
8 Gb Non-EEC ram
AMD Phenom II N830 triple core 2.1Ghz

System 3
Homemade ASUS based system
Win 7 Home Premium SP1 x64
NVidia GTX750Ti SC
8 Gb Non-EEC ram
Intel Q9650 Quad core 3Ghz

No special system mods or tweaks just standard setups with all the latest updates installed.

I just wanted to let somebody know that Ver. 7.4.27 my not be as ready for release as it could be.
contact me if you need anymore info on what my systems have installed if it will help.
Thanks for your time.
