Hello,
----------------------------------------Just got a new Win 7 (x64) machine. Loaded BOINC 7.0.28 (which works on my Vista Machine) as a service. So far, no issue. Tried to attach to WCG and get the following message: Failed to add project an error has occured; Check event log for details Click finish to close I was able to attach successfully to other projects, but WCG is my favorite. I checked the event log but all it says is: fetching config file from http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/get_project_config.php I've tried removing 7.0.28 and installed 6.12.34 - that didn't work either - same message. I then tried wcg's version of boinc all with no success. I currently have 7.0.28 back on that machine. It seems to work fine attached to other projects. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!  |

Of course you entered member name/password and not email-address password.
Is the security setup identical to your other machines? New machine... lots of them over here come with the abominable Norton [60 days free use] ... use wooden stick and hammer (but that's just me who'd do that on this product). What you could do as a hack is copy the account_wcg.org.xml and master.www.wcg.org.xml files from another machine and restart the client. It could get fooled into thinking it's already attached to WCG. |

Oh my. Well, now, I feel pretty damn stupid. I have 20 some odd machines running WCG and even though the screen said enter username, I was putting my e-mail address in.
----------------------------------------I'm going to blame this on advancing age and pretend this never happened. Thanks Rob |

Well, that was simple. I've created for you and any geriatrics needing members the shortest FAQ I could think of... item 4T: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,2150
