Won't attach to Project

(moderation:
I'm not sure if this has been covered or not but here it is. When I try to attach to the project an error message pops up telling me my account ID is invalid. I have set up my account so I know it is not that. If anyone has any ideas that would be great.

Go to the E@H front page and choose the option that lets you email your acccount key to yourself. When you get the email, cut and paste the account key right into the BOINC window. Be careful not to include any space characters or other extraneous stuff.

I'm having the same problem as everyone else. I am doing a copy and paste from the email, making sure not to have anything extra in it. But it still says that my account id is incorrect.

After completing the first
)
After completing the first set of work, BOINC cant seem to figure out how to get more work. There was no problem in getting the first set of work, but ever since that has completed it can not get anything else for some reason and I am at a loss as to how to get more. Ive tried everything that I can think of to get it to work (which basically amounted to closing BOINC, turning off my firewall and restarting BOINC) but to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions?

What message appears in the log when it tries to connect?
You should be looking for something like the following entries in your message log:
2005-03-06 12:09:03 [---] May run out of work in 0.50 days; requesting more
2005-03-06 12:09:03 [Einstein@Home] Requesting 43198.68 seconds of work
2005-03-06 12:09:03 [Einstein@Home] Sending request to scheduler: http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/EinsteinAtHome_cgi/cgi
2005-03-06 12:09:04 [Einstein@Home] Scheduler RPC to http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/EinsteinAtHome_cgi/cgi succeeded
except it should be reporting some kind of an error instead of "succeeded".
First thing you need to do is find that error, then post it here and someone can help you figure out what's going on.

OK, I may get a bit off here

OK, I may get a bit off here as I don't use windows, but there should be a way to override the deferral and see what message it generates then.
If you click the project tab, then right-click on Einstein@home, one of the options should be something like update the project.
Click that option and it will try to connect again without waiting out all that time. If this connection fails, new messages will be generated in the log - which should give a clue as to what the problem is.
I can't get started at all.

I can't get started at all. I try attaching to a project and I paste both the url http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/ and my key, and it blips out, no error messages, and it doesn't start.

Which version of BOINC are you using? If you have not installed 4.25 yet, please do so.

This is odd -- I don't know why BOINC is deferring communications for so long.
And my scheduler logs don't say why either! It looks as if you still have two WUs in progress -- is that right?
Did you do anything to your system's clock/time/date?
