I have downloaded and installed Boinc and attached seti@home with no problems, but I can not attach the climate predicition project. When I run the wizard for attaching the project, I put the url in and then I am asked for my username and password, which I have checked and are correct, the wizard tells me that it failed to attach the project, if I then go to the message tab in BONIC manager I get a red message saying \"Missing account Key\". I am using the latest stable version off the software, running on windows XP Pro X64.

The newly released BOINC is different to version 4.*, and the instructions haven\'t been updated yet.
But a lot of people are still using 4.19, so 2 sets of instructions are needed.

The fix: you need to change your password on your Account page, <a href=\"http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/edit_passwd_form.php\"> here.</a>

I haven\'t changed over yet, so I\'m going on other posts.
Let us know if it works, or if you need more help.

This works, but this is waaaaaaaay too poorly communicated / planned in the setup routine.

We know. I\'ve emailed one of the programmers to try and get the setup instructions updated asap.
