I wanted to change the hard drive on which Boinc is installed, so I uninstalled Boinc, moved its directory, then reinstalled it to the new directory location. Ever since then I have been getting System Connect errors such as:

13-Mar-2008 09:59:49 [---] Account manager error: system connect
13-Mar-2008 10:00:51 [Einstein@Home] Scheduler request failed: Couldn't connect to server
13-Mar-2008 10:01:35 [SETI@home] Temporarily failed upload of 01ap07aa.23466.4162.10.7.65_1_0: system connect
13-Mar-2008 10:01:36 [---] Access to reference site failed - check network connection or proxy configuration.

When I uninstall, move the directory back, and reinstall, everything works fine. I'm using Windows XP Pro SP2.

Can anyone suggest how I can move Boinc and keep everything working?

When you move everything to the new location, do you also tell your firewall (software) that you moved BOINC to the new location?
