The BBC download seems to have wiped out my previous copy of BOINC and severed automatic access to the other projects to which I was giving spare computing time. ID: 21109 · Reply Quote

Yes and no. The BBC BOINC uses a different folder to regular BOINC. To get back your old projects, uninstall the BBC BOINC in the usual way, and re-install 5.2.13 Then your old projects will be back. (Hey Presto, and all that. :) ) You will lose any BBC work, but you can start again by treating it in the same way as any other project, and attaching to it using http://bbc.cpdn.org/ ID: 21112 · Reply Quote
