i currently have win xp as my primary opperating system but i also have ubuntu as an option on my boot menu. i have installed bionce manager on my xp system but everytime i reboot, it keeps telling me a reboot is required for the manager to work. i have even shut down my computer and re started it but it keeps telling me the same. i think maybe it is because the reboot is not fullfilling properly as it pauses on the system boot option before i give it a command to boot either xp or ubuntu.is there a way round this? if so, can anybody tell me what it is? kind regards, peter

Look for a file called "rebootpending.txt" in the BOINC (data) directory and delete it. The Data directory is probably hidden, so be sure to set the right options in Windows-Explorer.

If you'rve upgraded BOINC from 6.2.13 according to this info, you may need to uninstall BOINC thru the Contol Panel first and then delete the rebootpending.txt from the Data folder.

[Edit] As noted by Ageless delete the rebootpending.txt from the program dir, though just recently someone else had a similar problem and couldn't find it in the program dir so if that's the case here too then check the Data folder[/Edit]

People, the RebootPending.txt file will be in the BOINC directory, not in the BOINC Data directory.
