ok, I downloaded it (not the command-line version.. I chickened
out..  ;)

so: I see a little green satellite-like icon on lower right hand-side of my screen...  when I click on it program starts running.. I don't see it start running on its own when I stop using computer (or is it always running and I only see it when I click that icon?)  I want it to run only when I'm not using computer..  thank you..  Frances

here, http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/download.html, among all the versions I don't see one for Windows 2000...  (they have for Windows NT, but well, I may be running windows NT, but not sure, it's Windows 2000 Professional..)


Windows 2000 is a new name for a new version of NT.  So is Windows XP.
Thus the client named:

setiathome-3.08.i386-winnt-cmdline.exe
is a command line version that will run on any flavor of Windows NT: NT4, Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
