Thanks. Got back to this today. Installed newly downloaded boinc_6.6.28_windows_intelx86.exe but still have same problems. Bonic manager cannot connect to local server, just throws errors. stdoutgui.txt shows a loop of connect failures;

[05/20/09 15:22:11] TRACE [1960]: init_poll(): sock = 528
[05/20/09 15:22:11] TRACE [1960]: init_poll(): connected to port 31416

[05/20/09 15:22:12] TRACE [1960]: init_asynch() connect: -1

stdoutdae.txt shows a loop as well;

at which time it repeats. And, prob the cause, stderrdae.txt has a LOT of dumps, all showing;

I have been running some form of BONIC for years and rank in upper 90's but this is getting to be more trouble than it is worth. I have to assume that others are not going through this. So, any suggestions?

Thanks Jord,

OK, I just uninstalled again. Service gone, Documents and Settings folder gone. Program gone. User accounts gone. Now rebooting. Anything else to look for before attempting another install?

More info; Apparently when I uninstalled, the BONIC service was not removed. It is still trying to log on as '.\boinc_master'. That account does not exist. 'bonic_master' does but the 'Documents and Settings' folder was removed when I cleaned up. The folder built by the clean (I hope) install was 'boinc_master.xxxxx' where xxxxx is my machine name.

I assume that somewhere the password for bonic_master and bonic_project are saved. If they need to be changed, 'User Accounts' can do that but how does one update BONIC? Or does one need to?

I hope that this helps, it looks like there is the mismatch between the service and the GUI that was mentioned.

thanks, jim

Thanks for quick response.

I uninstalled all of BOINC and clean installed 6.6.20. Now, when the Manager starts, it pops a "Communicating with BOINC client. Please wait...", throws a dump in stderrdae.txt, and apparently repeats till I kill it. The pop-up has a Cancel but restarts before any other action can be taken.

OBTW, I installed with the option to run in protected mode (wrong term I know) and it created one. Try without?

I just re-ran the install as Repair, no change.

Again, suggestions welcome.

Good afternoon. I upgraded from 4.something to 6.6.20. When BONIC starts, it just hangs trying to connect to 'computer'. I entered 'localhost', it filled in some password, then blinked 'localhost' in title for a while, told me that it cound not connect, and offered to try again. No joy. I have a rather large stderrdae.txt (19kb) with lots of

thanks in advance
