Recently, the Windows BOINC client stopped being able to communicate with some projects and with Science United. This is because of an expired entry in a file called the "certificate authority bundle".

To fix this problem, download a new version of the file, then move it to the

C:/Program Files/BOINC

directory.

This is a temporary fix. We hope to release a new version of the client that won't have this problem in the future.

Been unable to communicate with Science United. Tried reinstallation; did not work. Tried copying file to C drive, but could not get it work. Anything else that I might try?? What about mods from Microsoft??
