Title: BT 1.15
Post by: idahofisherman on August 10, 2011, 09:17:49 AM
Group not being saved across exit and start.  When Mutiple groups are selected, they are not saved across exiting and restarting.  Always seems to default to first group.  Am running XP3 with all fixes.

Groups selections are not stored.
You may want to read this: http://www.efmer.eu/forum_tt/index.php?topic=780.0 (http://www.efmer.eu/forum_tt/index.php?topic=780.0) You can collapse, expand and select groups at startup.

Not sure if you know about this or if anything can be done, but when v1.15 starts, it creates 14 instances of "conhost.exe" and 13 of them never go away. After stopping BOINCTasts, the 13 are left in memory.

Starting and stopping (Exiting) BOINCTasks multiple doesn't seem to add or subtract from the 14 running/13 exited instances.

BoincTasks seems to do that, but what happens is that BoincTasks starts the BOINC client.
You can check the log if BoincTasks starts the client. You should see this: Start BOINC client ---- The BOINC client started OK

Whatever you do don't try to kill them.

LOL!  I went back and checked after it had been running a while and they were all gone!!! Good grief! So, I stopped Boinc-client and shut down BOINCTasks, the restarted BOINCTasks then restarted local host client and this time only 7 appeared!

Oh well, mine it not to reason why the CSRSS does that... purely windows thing to correct bugs I read online...

LOL!

Sorry to bug ya!

:D
