Running on a Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 - M CPU 1.80GHz Pentium
running Microsoft Windows XP Professional Edition, Service Pack 1, (05.01.2600.00)

I downloaded Boinc GUI client last Friday, and installed it. BOINC downloaded initial work, then sat in the system tray. I noticed today that it has disappeared from the system tray. If I start it, it appears in the system tray for a short time, then disappears.

In the BOINC program directory, file stdout.txt reads:
2004-08-31 15:12:37 [---] Starting BOINC client version 3.20 for windows_intelx86

And stderr.txt reads:

***UNHANDLED EXCEPTION****

So it is crashing just after starting/trying to upload a result. Because there is no work, the seti process is not running.

You are still running v3.20 of the client.
There has been a upgrade to v4.05 and the 3.20 client will not
communicate with the 4.05 client. You can get the new client from

if your stdout.txt is actualized, make sure you are running lastest 4.05 boinc

>Reason: Access Violation (0xc0000005)


having this also under XP and 4.05, resetting the project helped in my case.

==> execute the drwtsn32.exe. this one is included with XP. from there you get closer *technial* information.

client 4.05:
you can get it from http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc

Just my luck. I must have downloaded the software just before the new version was released. I will try to get the new version
