After two reboots today, when I try to start BOINC manager, the "reboot is required" message still come up. What am I doing wrong? |

Remove the RebootPending.txt file from your BOINC Data directory. Default places for this directory: Windows 98/SE/ME: C:\Windows\All Users\BOINC\ or C:\Windows\Profiles\All Users\BOINC\ Windows 2000/XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BOINC\ Windows Vista/Windows 7: C:\ProgramData\BOINC\ Linux: wherever you unpack it/BOINC/ Macintosh OS X: /Library/Applications Support/BOINC/ This will be a hidden directory on most OSes, so either put the path to it directly into Windows Explorer, or instruct Windows Explorer to show hidden files and folders. |

Thanks! Was in Program files on windows 7, not program data, I presume it's the same file though as I deleted it and now it works fine. Once again many thanks |

Ah, it's in the Programs directory then. I then learned something new as well. ;-) |
