I *used* to run Seti v3.08, but now I get a popup telling me its shutting
down. I have downloaded Bionic (Whatever that is) and "attached to a
project" (whatever that means) using the URL given to me.

So having done that - now what do I do? I'm still running Seti 3.08 and I
still get the popup. Bionic gives me a screen with stuff on it which means
absolutely nothing to me.
Am I still running it?
Was I supposed to delete original Seti?
Is this Bionic supposed to do something?
Is it a case of having found ETI and there is no need for anyone to run Seti
anymore?
Or is it a case of someone not bothering to explain properly how and why
this is happening?
Maybe after seven years of Seti, it's not worth the effort of allowing
"strange" and unfriendly software on my system anymore?

Is the BOINC, notice the spelling, icon in the bottom right hand tray?
If so double click it and then click on the "work" tab. This should
say that a unit is "running". If it does then stop Classic, they will
interfere with each other and neither will work very well. Do NOT run
them at the same time. If there is no "running" work unit in the
"work" tab then come back here and post what the error messages are in
the "messages" tab.
