When starting up BOINC, it attaches to the Discovering Dengue Drugs project instead of the Human Proteome Folding project that I would like to participate in. When I check my profile here it shows that HPF2 is checked and DDD is not, so I'm not sure why it insists on attaching me to DDD when I actually run it?

Hi Kyramaul,
----------------------------------------The project choice is determined in one of two places. 1. My Grid > My Projects which effects all client devices registered to one member. 2. My Grid > Device Manager > Device Profile effecting only the clients attached to a particular profile. The rule is that the last one changed takes prevalence. Number 1 is designed predominately for those with multiple devices and is the easiest choice, but can also be used if just having one client running. In case the project selection does not seem to get adhered to, check the other option (1 or 2). Note if it was the first time you started BOINC, generally members have not configured their choice yet and work is send as-if the 'All Projects' was selected. Then the first job is just a random selection. Just let it finish and the next job fetched should be your HPF2. cheers

Appears to be the case, it is now getting the HPF2 that I requested. Thank you for the feedback! =)
