Good Afternoon All,
Today after loading System Mechanic 4 on to my PC i got an immeadiate freeze of Boinc. On setup of the program it gave me a list of programs that it considered could be AD or Spyware programs and Boinc was listed. I put Boinc in the exception category, but it failed to restart Boinc.I restarted the computer, still frozen. I tried to uninstall System Mechanic, and it left in some registry keys, so I had to call Tech support for their "Removal sequence" so it could be completely removed. I restarted the computer again, and Boinc would load, but the WU's would not crunch. Still froze. I unfortunately had to reset and lose 15 uncrunched WU's. My machine is just now re-downloading some work files. I am sorry all, for the loss of WU's, but I did not know what else to do.

Regards,

Rocky

Don't worry, after the due date of the workunits, the same workunits gets sent to other users. So you are the one that looses. And it's just 15 WU :)
