This evening i had the Problem that the Boinc Manager couldn´t connect to the Boinc Client once again... Tried the connect to Computer button and leaved all fields blank, but it didn´t helped, also if i typed localhost in, as recommended, it didn´t work... Only after shuting down System for three or four times and rebooting, the Boinc Manager could connect to the Client... Is there any reason for this Problem? When will Boinc 5.2.14 release? I never had this Problem with 5.2.7 and 5.2.8! Why now with 5.2.13? Thougt the new releases should fix bugs and not bring new ones... :-(

Stefan,

Hello again. As I tried to explain to you 2 days ago in your first thread, it_is_not_normal to start any application other than AntiVirus, network, or peripheral software at Windows Startup; there are just too many other processes starting up concurrently for everything to run in the proper sequence. All you have to do to prove this to yourself is to open TaskManager after starting Windows, and not the order of the things listed on the "Processes" tab. Ususally this sequence will differ at each startup.

Just to humor me, try uninstalling Boinc through the Add/Remove Programs applet in Control Panel, then re-installas Single User, [i]but un-check the "Start Boinc at logon" option on the configuration screen of the installer. Thais way, when Windows has all it's other processes settled-in, Boinc can be initialized without conflict.

NOTE: You will have to start Boinc from the Start/All Programs menu or from the desktop icon, but I have been doing this for 9 months now, with no instance of a starting problem, and, believe it or not, I DO actually remember to do so.

Regards,

Michael

Ok. Thanks Michael. I will try it. I hope this solves the problem.
