I have installed BOINC on my new Lenova Desktop & laptop but when I try to run it, it comes up with the above message even after I have re-booted and re-installed several times.
I have also tried to re-install an old version with the same result.
I have been running BOINC for several years without problems.

There's a text file in your BOINC Programs directory C:\Program Files\BOINC\ (RebootPending.txt) that does this. Remove it and you'll be fine.
