Can you start the program Boinc?

If you can , can you post some relevant messages from the tab "Messages" of the GUI?

Did the problems begun after installing SP2 of Win XP Pro? I yes, you need to configure the build-in firewall of Win XP.

Read the News at the homepage
Have a look at the Technical News
Look if your question is not answered at the Boinc Wiki

Best greetings, Thierry

you cannot run seti classic and boinc and expect them to both do anything at the same time.
they are both idle processes and one will work on the idle time available to the detriment of the other.

I did work on winXP SP2 without problems, but one day my client sent all done results but didnt download new wu.
Firewall on winxp is able to conect my client with server on berkley.

I am sorry that i didn't explain it: When i couldn't run boinc i terminate boinc and past it run classic seti

Moreover i hope that cpu load not depending on downloading of wu.
(i want download some wu, i thing that mast it boinc will come to work.
to aviod missunderstanding: boinc didn't and don't wu from server, but can conect to server (can check my preferences) .
