Thanks Tom, I'll try to fallback to the "old" WMI version 
(which BTW worked in the 1.44 version I we used before) 

I'd also be glad to fix it by myself and so help boost developement, 
, but I do not completely  understand the usage of the system boot time...
If boost needs in some way a tmestamp to differentiate things,
in my opinion  there are plenty of them to use instead of the 
last boot time.

Obviously it has been done for a reason, but I cannot understand why :-D
