I had upgraded from 7.0.28 to 7.0.64 and found that on system start up BOINC would not start up in the system tray although the run command in the registry had the "proper" command line extensions. In addition, even though it had started up properly, no tasks were visible until I minimized it to the system tray and opened it again. Returning to 7.0.28 put everything in proper operation.

1. How many times did you try this?
2. What kind of Windows (I presume?)?
3. Fully updated Windows?
4. What happens when you first time tell BOINC to the system tray and then do a reboot?
5. Any duplicate BOINC Managers starting from other places (Startup, elsewhere)?
6. When "it had started up, no tasks were visible", did you see it actually show "connected to localhost" or "connected to {IP address}" in the lower right corner?
7. Was this the same bit-depth as the previous version, aka 32bit->32bit or 64bit->64bit, or did you change bit-depth between clients? In that case, did you instruct your firewall to let these parts of BOINC through again?
