The "Failure to cleanup the Windows Socket Interface" message isn't as bad as it sounds. BOINC has detected that it's already running and has closed the new instance. But there's a coding error which means the exit routine calls the socket cleanup function without ever having setup the socket interface, and that's generating the error. I submitted a fix to the BOINC development team yesterday and it should be included in release 4.12 If you have BOINC as an all users <i>and</i> individual user startup item you'll get this error every time you login in. If you're in the habit of switching between users on XP <i>and</i> have BOINC as a startup item for all users you'll also get the error box each time you log an extra user in. <br><a href="http://www.teampicard.net"><img src="http://www.teampicard.net/templates/fisubice/images/phpbb2_logo.jpg"></a><a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/team_display.php?teamid=3">Join us here</a> |

How do you set up the program for all user AND individual users? I have a similar problem on a PIII using XP at home, and could swear I just took the default installation parameters... |

There's more than one way it can happen :) Have a look at <a href="http://www.climateprediction.net/board/viewtopic.php?t=2439">this thread</a> on the phpBB forum. <br><a href="http://www.teampicard.net"><img src="http://www.teampicard.net/templates/fisubice/images/phpbb2_logo.jpg"></a><a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/team_display.php?teamid=3">Join us here</a> |
