I opened an account with http://climateprediction.net 0n 28 Nov and checked it again today. Account is confirmed. However, I cannot get BOINC Manager to connect to you as it repeatedly says it does not recognise the account key. I have tried umpteen times without success. What is the problem?

You need to go to the \"Change password\" link on the \"Your account\" page (this is a direct link) and set up your own password. Use that instead of your account key when you connect to the project.

I have now downloaded Advanced Visualisation V3.0 but it will not run as Windows Installer says there is no valid digital signature and I should contact the vendor to verify that it is a valid Windows Installer packege. What next? ( For info the climate change screen saver does appear on my screen and had been running before I tried to download the Advanced Visualisation application. Should I have downloaded it at all? I have Windows XP.) ID: 17652 · Reply Quote

Tolu, one of the developers, said that a new version should be coming out in the next few weeks. ID: 17654 · Reply Quote
