The reinstall of boinc worked but have a new problem . It has to do with 16 bit MS-DOS subsystem C:\Windows\system32\ntvdm.exe Error setting up environment for app. Choose Close to terminate app. Found one persons post about opting out of astro pulse and other things that take a long time to do. I have checked to make sure that my preferences are set to be opted out of them. IT only shows up when computer is working on the task here is a copy of the event log 2/25/2013 2:04:31 PM | | Number of CPUs: 1
