I am now using the local settings and it is working correctly....

OK, thanks....

At the moment I only have 1 computer running with my account. And it would be great if you can find out if this point is true: that computer will always (i think) ignore preference changes made at the website...

I'll do that. Thanks for the help. 1 problem, it's going to take a long time for those tasks to complete....

I'm pretty sure I had the update before the latest at this time. I don't really remember any plugins I had....

I'm using Docking@Home and SETI@Home....

It's only happened to me a few times before on firefox. I haven't tested the problem on any other browsers because this happened on my old computer. I don't think I used the firebug plug in....

Here is some info that might help:

Dell Studio 15 laptop. Windows 7 Home Premium. Intel Core i5.

I try changing the CPU throttle to 100%, but it's not working! It's on about 60% on the computer even though on the site it says 100%.

I have synchronized with the server many times, but it's just not working!

It's happened to me. On a Windows XP Intel Pentium 4 Hyper Threading.

Was using Firefox.
