Hi everyone

I'm just getting started using BOINC and am running into a few issues.

Specifically, I'm trying to add a few account managers to my BOINC client (specifically I made accounts on GRCPool and BAM!) and everytime I try to add one, the system apparently crashes.

Specifically, the BOINC Account Manager window will show empty lists (no accounts), and when I type in the URLs for the Acct manager, as soon as I click "Next >" the software completely shuts down.

What can I do?

You can only have one Account Manager.
Pick one and stick to it.

It's projects that you add lots of.

Personally, I use the original BOINC Account Manager. It works fine.
