I have recently upgraded my computer to 8.1 and found the post stating it wasn't supported go to the Berkley website. I tried downloading there but can't make a connection back to WCG. When will WCG support 8.1? It has been out for a good while now. Thanks... Dave

You must be using an older version of Boinc. Try 7.2.33. http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php

Hi davewebb,
----------------------------------------I use 7.0.28 with Windows 8.1. The information from WCG and Berkeley sure is confusing & conflicting. Perhaps the fine folks here would give their thumbs up to 7.0.64? What do you use Scribe? Edit:Have a look here to see more confusion with people asking about VirtualBox & WCG, 7.0.28,7.0.64 etcetera.    [Edit 2 times, last edit by sunfolk at Jan 22, 2014 7:19:20 PM] |

.....7.2.28 OK, and would you recommend it to the OP? Where would the OP get it? Where do Win 8.X people's go for support? Because the official WCG channels all lead to 7.2.33... |

Based on several threads here on WCG forum, I would recommend 7.0.64 which can be downloaded from here.
----------------------------------------If somebody really wants to install the first Win 8.x legacy version 7.0.28, it is available from here (64-bit), i.e. 32-bit from here Cheers   Crunching@Home since January 13 2000.
