eagle_eyes,
----------------------------------------You could try other BOINC projects. Rosetta@home is a medical/biology project. I don't see why you can't connect to WCG but maybe you can contribute to other BOINC projects.  - AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W - AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W - AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz |

Thank you. Yes, and I can't get them to work, either. I reinstalled BOINC to make sure, and it's not working. I appreciate your help.
I'm also having troubles with JetBrains certificates, and I manually updated their software to no avail. I'm uninstalling until the next software release. |

Since you've uninstalled Boinc. Did you download version 7.16.7 from this link https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php ? If you only run WCG then download the smaller version 9.28MB should fix the problem.
----------------------------------------If i remember correctly, there was 7.16.6 too. That won't do. You'll have to download 7.16.7 Give it another try |

Yes, I did. That didn't work, either. I thought maybe downloading it with VirtualBox would work, but it didn't. Thank you for your help.

I followed the instructions from the site you gave me until I came across a warning that the firewall wasn't running correctly. I reinstalled BOINC, too, but can't remember the exact order. I then tried to see if I can enable that application in Windows Security, but it wasn't in the list, because I haven't rebooted the computer, yet.
When I rebooted the computer, BOINC worked immediately. There was no trouble with a connection. Somehow, Windows Security was preventing the connection. I even tried running the other software I had trouble with a security certificate failing, and it worked right away. Thank you for suggesting Windows Security. I run ZoneAlarm with Windows Firewall turned off, but I hear it's okay to have both going. Either way, I hope someone else comes across this problem and can fix it without getting frustrated like I did. Once again, thank you for your help. |
