Help!!! I have made no changes to my computer, added no additional software or hardware. Just out of the blue, every downloaded work unit begins computation and immediatly dies with "COMPUTATION ERROR". The error is -123.

I have removed BOINC and reinstalled with no success. Any suggestions or detailed help is appreciated.

For which project(s)?

Error -123 means that there's no signature file.

Instead of trying to uninstall/reinstall BOINC, try an uninstall, complete delete of the BOINC folder, reboot of the computer, reinstall of BOINC, re-attach to the projects.

What do you mean by a signature file? What is it used for?

Thanks,
