Computer Freezes - must power down

Computer Freezes - must power down

I installed grid republic on a laptop and it seemed to work fine with two projects.

I installed it recently on a desktop (PC with XP) and each time I want to use my computer (and when a project is active) the computer freezes.  I wait a reasonable amount of time, try all sorts of things, but no luck.  I have to power down and restart my computer.  This not good.  For now I'm removing the program.

Also - for some reason my new computer is not listed under My Computers even though I added it.

Advice?

1} i wonder: what project(s) were running on the computer which was having problems?

2} as for the machine not being listed: seems like maybe it did not connect properly to GR, or it somehow got connected to a different account.  might be worth resolving issue #1 first, though.

I had Rosetta@home and Einstein@home.  I believe it froze on either of them when I tried to begin use of my computer.

I will try to reinstall again from scratch and see if that helps.

How'd that go for you?  

 If you haven't tried yet, you might want to re-install with the latest version of the GR desktop software (for windows), which you can get here, or with the latest version of BOINC.
