I've plenty of HDD space, but Seti@Home messages continue to report:

10/26/2009 8:19:36 AM|SETI@home|Message from server: SETI@home Enhanced needs 32.00MB more disk space. You currently have 0.00 MB available and it needs 32.00 MB.

Suggestions?

BOINC tries to be a good citizen and leave some space for other programs to use. You get to determine how much. There are three settings that do this, and at least one of them is set in such a way as to limit BOINC to 0 bytes available. The startup messages requested will tell us which one.

Never mind... I changed my Account settings on here & that solved the issue. Sorry for the dumb question.

I notice that you are using a fairly old version of BOINC.

Yes, Very old. Some people think (WRONG) that they will lose all the credits if they install newer BOINC.
