Two of your 3 pc's have work that is active while the 3rd one does not, is that the one you are talking about? You don't seem to have done a unit on it for a couple of days, can you please post some lines from the Event Log in the Boinc Manager that show what the communication to Einstein is saying. That should help start the ball rolling.

It turned out that there can be a communications problem with the BOINC v7.2.39 that you are using - often triggered by changing the BOINC Manager language selection.

The new version v7.2.42 is now recommended, specifically because of this problem. Give that a try.

After adding new projekts I don't get tasks, too, with version 7.2.42 (x64).

There were three projekts (Einstein@Home, SETI@Home and Milkyway@Home) running and it worked. I added four other projekts (fightmalaria@home, LHC@home 1.0, malariacontrol.net and Test4Theory@Home) and now "Einstein@Home" and "fightmalaria@home" doesn't get new tasks.

Probably nothing to worry about, when running multiple projects one can't expect every project to always have work in the local cache, Boinc should balance things out over the long run to match up with the resource share you set in you prefs. If you have patience and let things run for a week or two Boinc should request and run work from all of your projects, but it might not be at the same time and all projects won't have work in the cache all the time.
