(moderation:
hi there,
I've installed BONIC and joined einstein@home. everything worked fine but I've closed the application and now I'm not able to start it again. the problem is that nothing happens when I run it, there is no error message I can see on my screen (maybe it is stored in some log file). What is a problem?
hhanks in advance

Hi joseph,
check BOINC installation directory/stderr.txt
ex: c:/program files/BOINC/stderr.txt
(i am using a forward slash coz forum does not like back slash!)
also check stdout.txt in the same folder...
let us know if there is anything in them!

The URL for the project is empty. It should point to the projects server. Did you attach more than once?
EDIT - you don't need to detach from the einstein@home project, but do need to detach from the empty project for BOINC to work. If BOINC is still running, you can do that fromm the GUI. But of BOINC isn't running, then you have to use the command line version.
For the command line version:
Open a command prompt and change to the folder where you installed BOINC. Thats usually in the program files so at the command prompt enter:
cd c:/program files/boinc
Then get a list of the projects with this command:
boinc_cli -show_projects
One of them should be the empty one.
Detach from it with the command:
boinc_cli -detach_project http:///
Do the -show_project again to make sure its gone, and repeat it for any other bad project you see.
this solved the problem!
