Continual "..reboot is required.." warning msg.

Windows Atom Netbook running Windows 7 Starter.
Boinc won't run. Everytime I boot up I get a msg telling me that "A reboot is required in order for BOINC to run properly...."

Note... Running Boinc program and data from E: drive, an SD card that is installed in the Netbook.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi bcmurray,
I have never heard of this before. Better tell us how you installed it and which installation program you used.

Re: Continual "..reboot is required.." warning msg.

Hi. I used the standard installer for windows downloaded from the World Community Grid website. Followed prompts. Only change I made was I installed the pgm files to E:boinc_pgm and the data to E:boinc_data. Thanks for your help.

Go to both BOINC data and BOINC program directories and delete a file saying "reboot".Should be a txt file.

Restart BOINC and your good to go.No reboot required
