	1. Is there any WU that is running for the moment? Open Boinc Manager --> tab "Work", look into the status. If no WU's are running --> tab "Messages" to see what messsages you have. Maybe Boinc need some WU's to download but due to the outage of some 17h. downloading WU's could be difficult for the coming hours. 2. Is Boinc suspended? Right click on the icon or with Manager open look under "File". ____________ Read the News at the homepage Have a look at the Technical News Look if your question is not answered at the Boinc Wiki Best greetings, Thierry

	Could you look at your work tab and messages tab? If the work tab is empty (or everything is "ready to report" and the messages tab is full of communications errors, then you have been hit by the backlog after the outage. The best cure for this is to join a couple of other BOINC projects. ____________ BOINC WIKI

Right click on the icon or with Manager open look under "File". The work tab status shows "Downloading" It is set at "Run Always" I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it makes no difference when the screen saver comes on it still "Boinc is currently idle" How does one join other BOINC Projects? ____________

There is a list here and here. The first is more official, and the second is (slightly) more complete. There are also several in closed Beta and Alpha stages, to join those, you have to keep reading the various boards, sometimes you will see an announecment. ____________ BOINC WIKI
