Projects won't Initialize ?

[STE\/E]

I may have stumbled on the Problem by sheer Blind Luck Guy'z. I was using System Restore to get rid of previous BOINC installs & by accident I let BOINC Install in it's Default Location. Usually I direct BOINC to install on another Partition other than the Windows Partition but by doing repeated Restores I forgot to do that this 1 time & BOOM BOINC was Initializing the Projects.

I didn't realize what had happened for a few minutes until I went to create a Shortcut on the Desktop & I didn't see anything in the usual BOINC Directories. So I had to go hunting for the the files & found them in the Windows Program Directories. I moved all the files to another Partition & rebooted & BOINC still worked & Initialized other Projects. So maybe It's something about the v7.x.xx BOINC Client that on new installs of Windows it needs to be installed in it's Default Location & then can be moved to where you want it.

I'll find out if that works by the end of the weekend as I have another Box that's running Linux but has a fresh Install of Windows on another Drive, plus I have to do 2 other Linux Box's back to Windows that will need to be installed first so hopefully that will work for them too, I'll report back on it one way or the other but It'll be a few days like this weekend maybe before I get around to them. I don't Golf on the Weekends so I'll have time to work on them then ...

Glad you were able to fix things. It's nice to have the boxes wereing away instead of you getting ready to take a hammer to them.

System restore will do that...
