Without some more details, how do we know?

Which version of Boinc?
Which projects are you attached to?
Do all those projects still have work?
Do you have work in your Work tab in Boinc Manager?
Where does it say this; in the screensaver? Or in the Messages tab?
Can exit Boinc Manager, restart it, then copy all messages from the Messages tab and paste them here? (Please, do exit and restart, that makes the number of messages a lot smaller plus we can check lots of other things)

Don't you just love it when people give you absolutely no information but still expect you to be clairvoyant? :).

There are actually 53 "Cor"s over at Seti plus a whole lot more "Cor Somethings" so it wouldn't be feasible to track the user down that way. My guess is that it may be something to do with Seti's extended outage(s), but who really knows?? Maybe "Cor" would like to tell us the Project/UserID so we can have a quick look at the results lists at least for starters.

Cheers,
Gary.
