Hello , I am new on this Forum (member since 2005) , and ask your kind help :
I have always activate WCG manually (not on Windows startup) using "C:\Program files\BOINC\boincmgr.exe" /a /s (took from an entry generated in the install) . From about 15 days the above does not work, it seems the Manager starts and exits immediately. So I am starting manually the programs : -- boinctray.exe (but it does not appear in systray) , and -- boinc.exe (it opens a DOS window , and seems to work properly -- tasks are processed and reported on my WCG site profile -- , and to stop the application I just close this window) . I am tempted to re-install , but I have some long "HPF2-new model" tasks partially completed , and am not sure if re-installing over the old one all this work will be lost . Thank you in advance for any suggestions . |

Hi, JRF999.
Please will you copy and paste the contents of stderrgui.txt (you will find it in your BOINC data directory: http://wcg.wikia.com/wiki/Data_directory ) Thank you. |

Thank you, JRF999.
There are no errors shown there, so I need to ask some further questions: 1. What operating system do you use? 2. What version of BOINC do you have? 3. Did you install BOINC as a service? 4. What security software do you use? |

Didactylos , thanks for replying . Per your request :
1. What operating system do you use? -- Win 5.1.2600 XP SP2 , common control components 5.82.2900, all critical (by MS) PTFs applied . 2. What version of BOINC do you have? -- 6.2.28.0 , Client=443.136 bytes 3. Did you install BOINC as a service? -- Not sure , but do not think so , as it can not be found in services.msc , nor by Autoruns 9.39 (HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Service) . 4. What security software do you use? -- You did not specify the area , these are the Active programs : ---- ZoneAlarm Pro (7.0.483.000 , AS 5.0.189.0 , DAT 01.2009.02.5295) , AS=ON ---- NOD32 (2.51.8 , DB 3836-20090207) ---- MBAM Pro (1.33 , DB 1738-20090208) , Protection=ON ---- PeerGuardian2 (2.0.6.5 Beta 6c , 12 lists-20090206) , HTTP=Blocked usually . |

Well , I think I solved my problem without loosing the current work .
----------------------------------------I have found the standard WCG Setup allows to Install / Repair / Uninstall . The Repair did not fixed the problem , but the UNinstallation copied all the Application Data to the Program Area , so after UNinstalling , a new Installation restored all interrupted processes , as well as the current tasks data .
