I downloaded the new boinc_5.2.13_windows_intelx86, then clicked on the icon on my desktop.
I get an error message "Error Reading Setup
Initialization file".
What is wrong, how can I run this program. I am using a new dell Inspiron 1200 computer with microsoft xp home edition.

Uninstall and install again if it fails again download Boinc again rinse and repeat.

sounds like the file you downloaded is corrupted... try to download it again ;)

That happened to me - I downloaded it four times, with four different file sizes.. all had the same error message.

I then ran it from the website instead of tryin to save it and it installed just fine. (Just in case subsequent downloads don't work for you, either - give that a shot.)

"Contrariwise," continued Tweedledee, "If it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic."
