I have tried setting the computer to localhost and a few other things with no affect. I have uninstalled and reinstalled boinc as well. For the fun of it I tried to install and run version 4.19 and it works fine! Any ideas? ID: 124577 ·

What seemed to work, in the the past, was to let it startup during the startup process and then shut down Boinc and then restart Boinc. ID: 124599 ·

I had previously fixed it by deleting then reloading the softeware...worked for a while and the failed again. Only way now to make it work was to go back to the prior version. ID: 124627 ·

Sorry, but this has happened to me too. I just use patience and it works outs over a little time. I had to wait 5 hours. But no reset,no uninstall....just waited it out. Thank Bishop Oh and I tried many things....but I decided just to wait it out.
