When Boinc first came out it worked on all my Computers. Now it only works with window XP. I install BOINC it runs Benchmarks and then freezes up on windows ME. Does anybody have a fix for this? Thanks.

There are posts in this forum about a bug in 4.05 that causes 98 and ME to freeze.

Look for version 4.07 or 4.08 ... those will solve the problem. (Easy enough to find if you read a few of the above mentioned threads - cant make it TOO easy for you) *smile*

Step 1: Uninstall Windows ME
Step 2: Install better operating system.
