Miklos also pasted file contents with just the five active lines, not the descriptive header line.

But I think both that line and non-ANSI character set can be ruled out. The event log message he posted (consistently) was

3/14/2014 5:41:49 PM | | Re-reading cc_config.xml
3/14/2014 5:41:49 PM | | cc_config.xml not found - using defaults

I tried adding an extra line to the top of my cc_config.xml: BOINC could still find and read the file, and gave an error message about "no start tag" instead.

If you can have Miklos M. post the File Names and Paths of the contents his BOINC folder, you will be able to determine if he has the correct Name & Location. That's what I was trying to do back here, http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=74304&postid=1488935#1488935

It has to be the wrong Name and/or Location keeping BOINC from finding the File.
As an example, this is good;
\BOINC\cc_config.xml
These are Bad;
\BOINC\ cc_config.xml
\BOINC\cc_config.xml.xml
\BOINC\cc_config.xml.txt

Back when I made my config file to run two work units on my GPU's I too had problems with the file not being read. My problem was not saving it correctly while in notepad. But its been a few months now and I cant remeber what I was doing wrong.

Also, there are "BOINC" as directory with executables and "BOINC" as directory with project files and configs.
And that secondary BOINC directory should be used for cc_config.xml.
If file will be placed along with client executable and DLLs BOINC will probably miss it.
