The "Failure to cleanup the Windows Socket Interface" message isn't as bad as it sounds.

BOINC has detected that it's already running and has closed the new instance. But there's a coding error which means the exit routine calls the socket cleanup function without ever having setup the socket interface, and that's generating the error. I submitted a fix to the BOINC development team yesterday and it should be included in release 4.12

If you have BOINC as an all users <i>and</i> individual user startup item you'll get this error every time you login in. If you're in the habit of switching between users on XP <i>and</i> have BOINC as a startup item for all users you'll also get the error box each time you log an extra user in.

How do you set up the program for all user AND individual users? I have a similar problem on a PIII using XP at home, and could swear I just took the default installation parameters...

There's more than one way it can happen :)

Have a look at <a href="http://www.climateprediction.net/board/viewtopic.php?t=2439">this thread</a> on the phpBB forum.
