Kory, please don't misinterprete me. There ARE problems sometimes, and sometimes they are so grave that we can't solve them in here but have to report to the devs.
My point was that BOINC is not ONLY problems but working for lots of volunteers just fine.

Your problem now:
I think it would be interesting to see what your 'messages' tab says. Can you copy/paste in here?
