Noticed a funny one being that for all the BOINC platforms, the minimum CPU speed has disappeared on the System Requirements page (UD agent stills show 550mhz). Now I don't know what speed a P266 or P200 is, but if those are the speeds of the CPU's, I'd not be surprised it's the reason. Also, the chance is, speculating all your devices are attached to same 1 of 4 device profiles, that you changed the permitted % of memory use during operating the computer and idle. e.g. 75% of 256mb would knock a machine off the 256 minimum requirement.

How can we find out? Restart each client and go to the message tab. Copy and paste for each device the first 20 lines into a post which would look like this:

This is the minimum together with an as complete as possible issue description and a piece of the message log, including 5 to 10 lines before and after the problem lines we like members to post when asking for help. It greatly accelerates the support process.
