Okay the problem is for some reason the "master file fetch" is not
downloading all the files it needs to your computer. Do you have
enough hard drive space? Do you have a folder JUST for Boinc?
This is fixed in a later version of Boinc, it will automatically retry
until it gets all the files it needs. But at the moment those versions
are still in Beta or Alpha. The web site IF you'd like to try one of
them is: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php?dev=1
But REMEMBER that ANY version beyond 4.13 is not released to the
public yet, so little to no support AND may not be the same now as
when it is released.

Okay lets start over!
uninstall ALL of Boinc, KEEP the name and password from your original
Classic account.
Re-install boinc to the hard drive, anyone will do, does not have  to
be C if you have others. When installing at the last screen, UNCHECK
the 2nd line about the screen saver. The screen saver causes problems
for some.
Upon installing it wil lask for the url and passwrod, COPY AND PASTE
them BOTH. DO NOT try and type them, there are intricicies that are
easily mistyped! ESPECIALLY with the url, COPY THE WHOLE THING, do not
forget the http part at the beginning.

Ok did that.

This seems to be the part where your system is stopping, from your log
errors it looks like the files are not being downloaded completely
error free. One ofthe next couple of releases of the software will fix
theis and make it automatically retry, it currently does not.
IF you have the errors again, come back and post the log again, BUT
just before you do click on the projects tab and then right click on
Seti@home and click on retry. If that does not work paste the logs
here again.
Also BEFORE you try, MAKE SURE you are connected to the internet!

LOL I am connected.
