Howdy from the land of Oz. I have a BOINC icon on my taskbar, but I can't open or close it. The computer is processing as normal, but the screensaver is not updated as to amount of credit etc. available. Some advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

By the way, I'm not a computer buff, so please talk english if possible.

What platform are you using (Windows, MAC, Linux, Solaris)?

What operating system are you using?

You are saying that if you place the mouse pointer on the BOINC icon in the taskbar and left click twice, that nothing happens?
