I installed BOINC on 25 Nov with setiathome and have received a task. 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?

The \"Getting Started\" instructions haven\'t been updated with the procedure required for the current version of BOINC.

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.

Thank you. That worked first time. Regards. Smokytodd.

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.)

The Advanced Viz is pretty much broken right now. Tolu, one of the developers, said that a new version should be coming out in the next few weeks.
