I have an activated account. I received my Project URL and Account Key but nothing works. I like the old Seti system. I will be forced not to participate if I cannot get it to work.

From what i can gather, you have failed to input the account key and URL into BOINC therefore it does not have any point of reference for what to do and will just sit there.
On the tab marked <strong>Projects</strong> click <strong>Attach To New Project</strong>, enter the information you were given into the window which appears and away you go.

Hope thats the problem you were having ;o)

It is probably due to the connection problem that SETI is having this weekend. Many people not able to turn in work and get new work for today. Hopefully they will have things fixed by late tomarrow and you will get work with no problem.

Just don't give up, wiat for this to be worked out. Please check the news on the main page tomarrow.
