The last character in your link has to be a g, not a d, but guess it's just a post typo. Best when adding WCG you pick it from the drop down list.

Make sure you're signed in on Windows 8.x in a local account, not the MS account, else don't know. The password is case sensitive, the member ID is not FAIK.

Which 7.2.33 have you pulled... the normal or the VBOX expanded version? [don't think this version is go to stay 'recommended' for very long].

Well, I've posted on it several times, not passing my personal check list [not WCG's either as I continue to see frantic updating of the localization/language files, which of course is irrelevant if your native language happens to be Yankee English].

Just installed a non VBox copy of 7.2.33 on W8.1-64, as a service. It's starting to become intrusiveware. First time ever I've seen the BOINC installer halting with the insistence of me closing the Firefox browser... digging deeper into the registry. Just did a remove of WCG and a re-add, but could not reproduce the issue... this project was successfully added.

Disturbingly, Windows Defender has started to block my Alwil Avast AV from launching [plz visit our windows app shop for more information]. There's more frying ongoing in W8 land.

Thank you!!
