Hello,

I'm a newbie with this softwarebut 30 years of PC/App support & Development but I've hit a problem & can't seem to find a solution.

I installed BOINC last night with the GridPublic GUIand I've been unable to get any of the Tasks to run during system idle times. The Tasks only seem to run aslong as their is Mouse or Keyboard activitity. Here is what I've tried thus far (summary)...

In the Web based Pref's page I set the config to allow processing all the time without restrictions on day or time. I also did the same via the Local Simple view interface as well as the Advanced Interface. I've tried resarting the computer and the BOINC applications. I've also used the Advanced View | Activity dropdown and checked the Run Always options. In addition, I've used the Adanced View | Advanced drop down and selected the Read Local Pref's file. It seems no matter what I do, the results are always the same, all the Tasks Status go to Suspend unless I keep doing stuff.

Any Ideas Greatly appreciated

DETAILED ACTIONS TAKEN

This is a more detailed list of what I've done so far. First I went the the Web Page for Pref's and set up the CPU & GPU so that they run always (including when in use). In Simple View, I selected the Prefences page and tried both the Defaults as well as Customized settings. In the Customized settings, I had Do Work set to Anytime and Connect to Internet set to Anytime. I also had Do Work After Idle set to 0 (Run Always). That didn't help either. I then went into Advanced View | Advanced & clicked on Real Local Pref's file and again nothing changed. In addition, I went into the Advanced View | Activity drop down and made sure the Run Always for CPU & Network were both selected and still nothing changed.

One last Item, when I was in Simple View and stopped my Mouse and Typing, the main dsiplay went from having the word Running to Another Process is Working (or something like that) after a minute of idle time. I had the Windows Task Manager open at the time and the only process running was the System Idle Process of WIndows. So I'm more confused then ever.

I look forward to hearing from someone.

Thanks,

Norm
