If it fails to start (becomes non-responding), I must reboot the computer and try again. If I can get it to run, I must leave it in the active taskbar for it to keep working. I recently installed Norton Internet Security and upgraded to Win media player 11. The problems appeared after this. Thanks for your help. Chris Christopher Pikula Waltham, MA USA ID: 7155 ·

Might you need to open the ports BOINC uses for communications in Norton's firewall? BOINC.exe needs 31416 and 80 and 443 opened BOINCmgr.exe needs 31416 opened BOINC.scr needs 31416 opened Kathryn :o) ID: 7156 ·
