Hi,

When in the client, and clicking on the buttos for any project website, it will launch Microsoft IE, no matter what browser I have defined as default browser. I have 3 browsers, MSIE, FireFox and Safari (all in windows Vista), and I've tried Firefox and Safari as default browsers (currently, it's Safari), and BOINC client ALWAYS launch MSIE...

It should launch the website page in the default browser defined in the OS, and not some pre-defined one.

Regards,

Leo

Not BOINC's fault. It only follows what browser you set as default in your OS.
So set the correct browser as default again.
