Anytime I click on the File \ View \ Tool (any) of the menu items the BOINC manager immediately crashes. I have it installed on several machines and all of them have the same problem... It usually works just long enough for me to attach projects but after that the Manger becomes pretty useless. It also crashes if I hover over any of the buttons before the tool tip appears. Maybe that helps?

I have tried to uninstall and reinstall but it didn't help. I am running 6.10.18 and all the computers have Windows XP SP3.

I am not sure how to go about solving the problem. It makes it very difficult to add or change projects once the system is setup. I run both SETI and Einstein on all the machines. The computers use a roaming profile that transfer settings between them... maybe that has something to do with it? Anyone else having this problem I wasn't able to find anything like this in the forums.

Could it be an access rights problem? Did you try running the manager with admin privileges (just to check)?

As a "workaround" you could try the command line interface boinccmd. It's not very "user friendly" but has all needed functionality. Open a command window, "cd" to the BOINC directory and type in
boinccmd --help
