How do I make it not miss things?  It's missing every single Milkyway task.  I thought the tasks were being reported too late!

So to be able to throttle non-boinc programs the tick must be removed?

I do not understand what that tick box does.

In the BOINC tab remove the "Connect with BOINC client" check.

Do I have to untick that to throttle other programs?  Won't that stop boinc throttling?

Does tthrottle only throttle boinc, or will it throttle other programs?  Not that I can currently think of anything that will run on 8 cores....

I frequently need to see messages older than the message tab displays.

Thanks, although I tend to have projects assigned to EITHER the cpu or the gpu.  (Mainly because very few projects do ATI work - only three are currently giving out regular work, so I save the CPU for the ones that don't).

The computer is on 100% of the time.  Most of the CPU time is left for Boinc.

I am using the latest release (non beta) version.

Mysteriously is fine, but it's downloading more than the ATI can do.  This is presumably inconveniencing the project, and also it means my ATI is sometimes (if I don't spot it in time) doing work for no benefit to anyone.

The problem is that I have set 10 days of work to be fetched in advance.  I have an ATI GPU and that gets slightly too much work, so it misses some of the deadlines.  I also have an 8 thread CPU which has currently only got 2 days work.  Looking at the messages tab, I can see that boinc is not asking for more work from any projects.  Normally when it's short of work it would ask regularly.

Thanks, I'll report the problem to Boinc then.

I have a little problem with work fetch, but is it a boinc tasks problem or a boinc problem?  Is boinc tasks just an interface, or does it do the calculations as to what to download aswell?

Ahhh.  Thanks again.

Oops, that failed after rebooting.  Boinc tasks could no longer see the projects (probably because they weren't running - CPU usage was at zero).

I've put boinc manager back on....

Thanks!

It seems silly running Boinc Tasks AND Boinc Manager, but if I exit Boinc manager (in the system tray), the client (or whatever you call the thing that does the work) stops too, and no tasks run.  I can't uninstall Boinc Manager as it seems to come with the client.
