Hi Stratcat!

Thanks for the brain storming :)

so I'm assuming you meant "remove", rather than delete. If by some
chance you "deleted" the BOINC s/w, rather than "removed" it
via the Control Panel, this could easily have caused your probs. I hope
I haven't insulted your intelligence w/this suggestion. I'm just trying
to touch on all bases.

Uh oh, now that you mention ist, I'm not so sure about it.

The insult, or the progy removal thru the ctrl pnl?  ;-)

If you deleted rather than removed, I'd give a very high probability that
is what caused the prob. A subsequent re-install & correctly performed
removal MAY not rectify the situation, once it's already occured. This is
from my experience. Returning to an earlier restore point just may work,
though.

Oh, a last bit of information: The Computer runs WinXP HOME. Perhaps
 here's a problem which only occurs on the HOME and not on the Prof.
 versions? But hat seems unlikely...

Completely unlikely, IMO.

Good Luck
