I always get the following two error messages when starting BOINC. What does that mean and what shall I do? (BOINC seems to function anyway)

BOINC GUI Diagnostic Error

BOINC Runtime Exception -108 File Operation Failure
Failed to reopen stdout for diagnostics redirection (overwrite)
Filename: '\Boincsrc\Main\boinc_public\lib\diagnostics.C'
Line: '93'

BOINC GUI Error

BOINC Runtime Exception -108 File

The "Failed to cleanup the Windows Sockets Interface" error comes form the fact a second Boinc GUI is started while a first one is already running. Keep in mind that Boinc is started while starting Windows.

The first error message is very probably linked to the second one.

Thierry, thanks for replying!

Thierry, thanks for replying! Well, I didn't keep in mind that Boinc starts with system start. And as I installed it as a service I later also put it in the the 'Start Up' folder. That's why it tried to start twice...
