Could anyone explain why I and how I should remove this file, please?
I run XP SP2 with a Ati Radeon graphics card. No known changes to configuration since the last completed unit was uploaded/reported.
Thanks in advance,

John,
You are getting this message because you have been using the 0.18 beta app, which shows up as anonymous, non-standard. The server wishes to give you albert work, and the proper new albert app to crunch it, but there is no recognizable Einstein app to be replaced.
The app_info.xml file is located in the einstein folder, in Program Files/BOINC/projects folder. You'll have to exit BOINC completely, via File-Exit or through the Task Manager closing boincmgr.exe and boinc.exe. Then navigate to the proper folder and delete the file.
Regards,
Michael

Why? Please look here.
How? Stop BOINC. Remove the file as you would any other file. Restart BOINC.
