I just installed BOINC and got things setup. It connects just fine and downloads just fine. But every single task spits out a Computation Error result. In the properties I see "---" in the CPU time and Elapsed Time fields. I assume I've got something set wrong but I'll be damned if I know what. Running Win 7x64 with plenty of disk and memory to spare and CPU cores running at <10% World Community Grid BOINC Manager version 6.10.58.

Okay it took some searching (what would we do without Google?) and some trail and error (pardon the pun) but I've got it fixed. Was a combination of two issues. Comodo was set to use the Isolated Application rule set with BOINC and I needed to change that, and I had installed BOINC as a service, which I found was a no no on Vista and later Windows OS. Fixing both those two things has resolved the problem.
