Hi,

I just downloaded the software. When my screen saver turns on, it tells me "no applications are runing" in the top line and in the Boinc windows, I don't have any project. Do I just have to wait the programs to download its own project ?
Thanks !
Arnaud

You have to 'Attach to Project...' in the 'Settings' menu.
copy&paste the account data from the e-mail, and everything should be fine:-)

Welcome to the project Arnaud.

I presume you've entered the project URL and account id from the email you were sent when you created your account (as detailed <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/download_main.php#how">here</a>).

If you have, your problem is most likely to be due to your firewall settings (you need to allow the BOINC program to read from and write to port 80). If it's not that please post the messages that your seeing (on the windows GUI program click on the messages tab) and someone should be able to get you going.
