These settings make sense, so thanks for that.

ffgeorge does man a very good help desk ;-)

Working a little more with the problem - I recalled that upon installation
BOINC said something about working only while someone is logged on -

That is where you can install Boinc as a service. However, you lose the screensaver by installing that way. You can still use various 3rd part add-ons for fancy graphics.

(Anyhow, the fancy graphics slow down the WUs a little :-( I've not seen them for a very long time now so that I get faster crunching :-) )

so you can't have your screen password protected while looking at the
screensaver?

There's has been a problem with Window's quirkiness for password protecting the screensaver for some time now. Looks like noone has found a fix or workaround.


Welcome to boinc,

Happy crunchin',
