(moderation:
I have an account key, I have BOINC installed (with the icon in my task bar, I can double-click on it and get to the BOINC manager (with SETI@home and Einstein@home already attached as projects).
In BOINC Manager, I click on "Update" and nothing happens. I used to download data units from SETI@home, process them, and upload the result.sah. How do I go through the download-process-upload process?
I only have a 56k dialup modem, no high-speed connection.

You must add Einstein@home to your BOINC manager.
Start BOINC manager, goto projects - attach to project and follow the questions.

Perhaps it's a firewall problem. Your firewall must allow BOINC Manager and boinc.exe to access the internet. If you are you using the Windows firewall, add both as exceptions.

The upload/dl process is completely automated in boinc. You don't have to do anything, not even, really, hit update.
If the firewall settings don't help, be aware the EAH WU are quite large and will take some time to DL/UL on a dialup.
You can check the 'transfers' tab to see if anything's happening. You can cut and paste any error messages from the 'messages' tab if you have further problems to enable people to help you better.
