Dear Jord,

No, it didn't...

... but I just solved the problem!

After I rebooted the system, BOINCManager started up just fine!

Doh.

May I suggest that the McOSX installer be changed to require a restart after installation, or at least throw up a notice to the end-user that a restart will be required?

OK< a new issue-- the BM messages report that no GPU was found. Here are the system specs for my machine's GPU, which I believe are sufficient. Any idea why it's not seeing the GPU?

ATI Radeon HD 4850:

Chipset Model: ATI Radeon HD 4850
Type: GPU

PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 512 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x944a

Thanks again!

Dear Folks,

Just set up a brand new quad-core (intel Core i5) iMac running OS 10.6.2. I'm running as administrator on this system.

The BOInC installer says it successfully installed BOINC. When I try to launch BOINCManager, it aborts with this error message:

"BOINC Manager - BOINC ownership or permissions are not set properly; please reinstall BOINC. (Error code -1037).

I've tried reinstalling three times; each time the installer reports it installed successfully. I still can't launch BOINC.

What's the problem and what's the fix? Thanks!
