I've been running boinc for a little while now  about 5 months  but over the
last week every time I start it up I get this message
--- - 2005-01-15 08:27:45 - General prefs: from SETI@home (last modified
2004-07-11 08:33:14)
--- - 2005-01-15 08:27:45 - General prefs: no separate prefs for home; using
your defaults
SETI@home - 2005-01-15 08:27:45 - Host ID is XXXXX (number removed)

windows_intelx86
SETI@home - 2005-01-15 08:27:45 - Project prefs: no separate prefs for home;

SETI@home - 2005-01-15 08:27:46 - Deferring communication with project for
47 weeks, 0 days, 13 hours, 23 minutes, and 17 seconds

It end there and begins a count down of the 47 weeks
anyone know what I've done wrong?

Cheers Chris

The current client for SETI BOINC is 4.13, you might try downloading that to see if it makes a difference. Here is the download link:
