I didn't do that re-set recommended by Sek, Didactylos - that message log is all since I re-installed the client from scratch. You are going to have to explain what is and how I create a preference overide file for BOINC I'm afraid  No reset heh...... there was no dead give away in your log you did that  cheers PS, our 'greatest' friend actually posted an override file here on the forum

Addyweb,
I have updated the servers with the fix. Can you do a 'update project' and then let us know the following: 1) If you have a global_prefs.xml file in your BOINC install dir 2) What messages were logged during the update. 3) If the answer to question 1 was yes, then remove the override file, exit BOINC and then start it again. Let us know if your settings from the web are being used. thanks, Kevin |

That appears to have done the trick Kevin
 1) global_prefs_xml file now in the BOINC install dir 2) oops - re-started BOINC without copying the messages, sorry Kevin , from what I recall it seemed to be saying the right things.3) Removed the overide file and re-started BOINC - here is the latest messages log: 15/11/2006 17:19:38||Starting BOINC client version 5.4.9 for windows_intelx86 15/11/2006 17:19:38||libcurl/7.15.3 OpenSSL/0.9.8a zlib/1.2.3 15/11/2006 17:19:38||Data directory: C:\Program Files\BOINC 15/11/2006 17:19:38||Processor: 1 AuthenticAMD AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+ 15/11/2006 17:19:38||Memory: 1023.48 MB physical, 2.40 GB virtual 15/11/2006 17:19:38||Disk: 114.48 GB total, 89.30 GB free 15/11/2006 17:19:38|World Community Grid|URL: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/; Computer ID: 82826; location: home; project prefs: home 15/11/2006 17:19:38||General prefs: from World Community Grid (last modified 2006-11-13 17:31:49) 15/11/2006 17:19:38||General prefs: using separate prefs for home 15/11/2006 17:19:38||Local control only allowed 15/11/2006 17:19:38||Listening on port 31416 15/11/2006 17:19:38|World Community Grid|Resuming task faah0895_bdb072_mx1ohr_dry_02_2 using faah version 528 From that it would appear to have correctly picked up my web preferences. Thanks for sorting this out Kevin, I know there are a few from other teams who had this problem and have been following this thread - I'm sure I can thank you on their behalf as well  Cheers, Ady |

Yep ... worked for me also ... I was not using an override file (I had just manually updated the global pref file) .... after the projest update I got:
