WinXP SP2 on Reboot Causes BOINC Crash

(moderation:
Was running BOINC manager (B'man), watching all the stuff download, then crunched values for several days.
Suspended for awhile whilst ... er, um... playing a game and then rebooted like I'm used to doing as sometimes these games don't release RAM back to the system (like MacOS X tends to do) properly.
Right clicking on the B'man icon in the System Tray results in a freezeup of the menu bar soon after (it turns white).
Rebooting randomly solves it -- did it once, no problems after; new data came and went properly. Other times, multiple reboots (where I am now) can't resolve it.
Tried running the installer to Repair the program to no avail.
HELP !!!

A bit more information would be of help: Which OS (XP or MacOS?) and which version of the BOINC client (and if there are different ones for that version: which installer) are you using?

This may be a bit off-topic, but I wonder if einstein is crunching when you don't try to open the manager?

When it doesn't respond, I ctrl-alt-del to force it to quit (yup! It's WinXP alright, not a Mac), and when the B-man quits, a check into system processes shows a BOINC something-or-other still running in the background.
Is there a command line (DOS window) process going on in the background that B-man monitors?
