Hi

When I upgraded to 5.8.8 my Climate Change folder did not change names - long story, but at one stage I had two installations, one, recently unused one, in a BOINC folder (which I have just deleted) and one in the Climate Change folder which I have been using and which I have just upgraded. (MikeMarsUK and Les Bayliss helped me to sort this out in http://bbc.cpdn.org/forum_thread.php?id=4843)

As I am now also crunching Malaria Control can I just rename the \"Climate Change\" folder to \"BOINC\", or will that confuse the BOINC Manager?

Thanks

Tricia

Stop BOINC.
Uninstall.
Rename/move folder.
Reinstall over new name/folder.

Thanks.

I feel much happier with only one correctly labelled folder.

Regards
