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.

I have 7gigs free and the program is in a separate folder.  Maybe I should
wait until the new version is released.....how much longer?  I can make a
screen shot of the files in the folder but this is not a bin group.
