Just delete the RebootPending.txt file in C:\Program Files\BOINC.

I am puzzled as to why that file wasn't deleted for you after a reboot though.


Hohoho how simple! Thanks.

In case it's useful for diagnosis, this is Vista 32 Business + sp1 on a domain, my running user does not have administrative privileges (installed under a local machine account), I installed to "C:\Less Secure Program Files\BOINC" on top of v5.10.45 and the screensaver kicked in before I'd saved everything and rebooted first time.

Thanks again,
AC

I've upgraded from v5.10.45 on Windows Vista to stop the annoying blocked startup issue, only to be replaced with a more annoying "A reboot is required in order for BOINC to run properly. Please reboot your computer and try again." I've rebooted several times and it makes no difference - I can't start BOINC manager.

I've added my user to the boinc_admins and boinc_projects groups (and rebooted, just in case) but it makes no difference.

Can anyone shed any light please?

Thanks,
AC
