Hi,

Have a problem that I don't think is any BT defect but does stop BT from fully functioning.

I have used BT successfully for some time, but last week replaced my main machine and ran into the problem.
Machine is...
Asus P5K WS
Core 2 Duo E4500
Win XP Pro SP3 and all updates (fresh install)
BT 1.15
Boinc 6.10.58

Problem is BT reads & displays remote machines fine but I have no control functions at all.

The log displays the following which I assume is the problem...
ERROR: CryptAcquireContext ---- Error 80090016

Have Gurgled for solutions but failed to resolve it.
Tried a couple of things eg flushing RSA folder to no avail.
Much of what I have found associated with the problem I simply don't understand.

From MS...
CryptAcquireContext errors
The following are the most common error codes and possible reasons for the error.

    * NTE_BAD_KEYSET (0x80090016)
          o Key container does not exist.
          o You do not have access to the key container.
          o The Protected Storage Service is not running.
       
Protected Storage is running but keys I don't understand and can't advise status.
I note that if I start BT in the previous main machine I have normal full control of Boinc on the new machine, so it is a one way deficiency only.

I would be grateful if someone can tell me if the above mentioned error is really the problem. And also if someone can help me solve the issue or even point me to where I can find an easily understood solution.

Thanks.

Greetings.

I have 7 (6+localhost) machines monitored by BT from my main PC.  I have now installed BT on one of the other machines on the network and can't get it to connect to one other machine - the others all connect fine.  All machines including the troublesome one are still connected OK to the 1st copy of BT.
The problem shows as being a read error -102.
Have extensively read old threads regarding connection issues but not found any solution.

Running BT .71, Win XP SP3, all config files identical and password is common to all machines. Have traditionally used names in hosts files without trouble but have added IP (and rebooted) but no change.   
All running the same firewall and AV settings. Don't have TThrottle on any.

Any suggestions welcome and appreciated as I've run out of ideas.
