If you look on the SETI@Home "classic" page you'll see:

"On December 15, 2005, after 6 years of operation, this project will
shut down.

When I look on the SETI@Home "classic" page, I see no such thing.
Surely it would be cleverer and more courteous to post that information
somewhere where its likely to be visible to Classic users.

Look a bit more closely.

It should be noted, and probably already has, but when installing the
latest version of BOINC  (5.2.7) It needs to be done with the
Administrator account, not an account with administrator privileges.
At least it was that way on the two of my computers installed so far.

News section, quoting from the page:

"November 15, 2005
On December 15, 2005, after 6 years of operation, this project will shut 
down. But SETI@home is not going away. We're alive and well and running 
on the BOINC distributed computing platform. It's easy to switch over - 
just follow the instructions on the new SETI@home web site. We hope to 
see everyone there!

At the time of shutdown, the stats for this project will be frozen but 
will continue to be available on the web.

Thanks to all original SETI@home participants for their tremendous 
dedication to the project. You made SETI@home into something of lasting 
significance."
