I have tried to reinstall, moved it back to the original partition etc, to no avail. Is there anything I can do to recover the work or shall I dump it? ID: 23481 · Reply Quote

If your original c:\\program files\\boinc was intact, then you could have used that, but from what you say it sounds like Application Mover destroyed it. Microsoft\'s Application Mover basically only works on software written by Microsoft themselves. I'm a volunteer and my views are my own. News and Announcements and FAQ ID: 23498 · Reply Quote

In my case, I have only ever had BOINC on D:\\. D has ~10GB free space. C (my OS partition) has 900MB free. Boinc/CPDN will not download new work, I get \"not enough disk space (only 899MB free for BOINC). Review preferences [etc].\" Other projects work fine, only CPDN complains. I am running BOINC 5.4.9.
