I let BOINC run with seti@home on a PC with Windows XP (ServicePack 1), 2,8 GHz Pentium4/HT/512kB Cache.
A connection to the servers is made through a proxy
with authentication. This seems to work because a
connection to the project servers was possible.
The BOINC software got 3 workunits and started
computing 2 of them (Hyperthreading, detected 2
processors). BOINC completely finished processing the
2 workunits and then tried to upload the results.
When trying this the SW crashed, the window closed
and the BOINC icon in the taskbar disappears (task
completely shut down). This happens now every time I
start the BOINC SW. I can see it finish the processing
and a message that tells me that it is trying to
upload the results. Then it crashes. This means I
can not start and use BOINC at all now.
I tried starting just the cli version and got the
following result:

C:\\Programme\\BOINC>boinc_cli

Perhaps this helps finding the bug.

This is probably a problem related to the use of proxy authentication.

You can have a look at this thread. This will maybe give you some info to resolve the problem you have.

Hope this helps.
