Do you have an operating network connection on this new PC? If so can you access the SETI home page? If you can, try downloading the setup from there and then try running it on your new PC. Hopefully that might work for you.

You cannot just copy BOINC from one PC to another, you have to INSTALL it - go to the download page, http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php find the correct operating system version from the list (it may already be selected if you are on your new PC), then download the BOINC installer.
Run the BOINC installer, the join the project as a RETURNING user.
