Hi! Got the message "project needs more disk space". Ok, but there's enough free space on the other drive - how can I point BOINC to use another logical drive (D: instead of C:). Or should I install it on proper drive?

I assume we're talking about Windows?
In that case, uninstall BOINC through Add/Remove Programs or Uninstall a Program (depending on Windows kind), then reinstall BOINC and in the 3rd screen in the installer click Advanced.

Now you can change the paths to where you want BOINC to install its program files (1st line) and the data directory (2nd line). You want to change the path for the data directory.

What are your preferences for Disk and memory?
Did you check both the on-line and local preferences? The local preferences override the on-line preferences.
