Hi all, since removing and reinstalling BOINC on this computer after it got corrupted by adding an extra Windows account, the statistics page shows no data and the date line only shows 01.Jan.70.

The Projects page shows me correct stats and the Tasks page shows that work and uploads are ongoing.

Has anyone got any advice on how to fix this?

Many thanks...

First thing to do is to check that your computer's system clock is set accurately, and remains accurate through a complete power cycle (shut down, remove power input, wait a couple of minutes, power up again).

If it fails that test, replace the CMOS battery on the motherboard, and repeat the test until you're sure that the system time is preserved through a restart.

Then, navigate to your BOINC data directory, and delete the file

statistics_[project url].xml

That should fix it.

Richard, thanks for your good technical advice.

It turns out that the problem is that I'm an unobservant idiot.

Rather than delete this post I'll keep it here in case someone else falls into the same mistake I made :)

I used to run multiple projects and now only run one.

In Mode view on the bottom left in the Advanced view, 'All projects (together)' was selected instead of 'One project'. As soon as I clicked on 'One project', everything was as it should be.

Thanks again Richard for your kind assistance!
