Win 98se, BONIC 5.2.13, PII-500 512 L2.

Installed 5.2.13 selected attach to project. Inserted http://setiathome.berkeley.edu. Attach to project page is displayed; select use existing account. enter email address. try to copy-past the account key but paste and all other options in drop-down dialog box are greyed out. Tried to manually type in account key - hit next and am informed that email-account key are no good. BTW the account key and email addy are valid - I can access my account on the seti@home site useing them. Any Ideas?

Install BOINC, let it start up.
- If your firewall asks if Boinc.exe and Boincmgr.exe are allowed to play outside, let them.
- If you want to connect to the Seti project, go to Your Account.
- Change your password, type it in twice and hit the Change Password button.
Start Boinc Manager if it isn't open yet.
At the top menu bar, you see Projects (not the tab, but the menu bar), press it.
Select Attach to project.
- Type in, or copy & paste: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu
- Press Next.
- Press the radio button before "Use existing account"
- Fill in your email address (top of the page) and the password you just set at the Seti page.
- Press Next.

That should attach you to Seti.

If it does not, go to the Messages tab in Boinc Manager and copy the messages from there, then post them here for one of us to look over.

Ok: it took several tries but it appears the I am now attached. (perhaps coms problems)? Still wonder why the diolge box was greyed, still had to type in new password. Any way, for the record:
