I have tried to get some work still, so I thought I would add Einstein@Home in the meantime. Each time I try to add a project I get the same message from server:
Required wizard file(s) are missing from the target server. (lookup_account.php/create_account.php)

I thought BIONC might have acuired a virus or my computer didn\'t download it properly, so I have downloaded and reinstalled it to the same result. Please advise how to solve this. :) Maureen.

As you have your computers hidden, and you aren\'t posting in one of the help areas, this is going to be a bit slow.
So, what os do have?
Which version of BOINC are you trying to use?
The latest 5.n versions work a bit differently to the 4.n versions.

Before, you needed an emailed account key, but with the latest, you just need your email address and a password which you make up.
There is supposed to be a \'wizard\' which guides you through all the steps in attaching. Are you saving that you don\'t get this?

That sounds like a 5.x.x client trying to work with a server that is not completely upgraded to 5.x.x.

There are 2 ways to get around this.
1) Install a 4.xx client long enough to attach to the project then upgrade again to 5.x.x.

2) Create an account*.xml file for the host and restart the BOINC client. You can do this by either copying one from a working host or creating one with wordpad.
