Please select a client to monitor Under that is a drop down titled Host Name (no suggestions in the drop down) Under that is a Password box I'm not sure what BOINC is looking for here. When I look in the Control Panel I see the version I dl'd on 6/11/14. Any ideas on how to proceed from here? ID: 1528296 ·

I have received those messages when I have BOINC started under my work-a-day non-admin userid, and then switch to my admin account. I installed BOINC so that it auto-starts upon login, so a second BOINC starts and issues those messages. I just close them and go about my business. ID: 1528409 ·
