I bought a new PC that runs Vista, and it blocks BOINC from running at startup unless I manually allow it every time. Does anybody know how to stop Windows from overruling me on what programs I want to automatically run?

Boinc still isn't 100% Vista compatible:
- If you use version 5.10.x, it won't startup automatically
- If you use version 5.8.x it will start up automatically, but you have to close it manually before shutting down in order to prevent work from getting lost (only occures sometimes, it is horrible if you crunch very long WUs)

The next version of Boinc: version 6 (currently in alpha testing) will fix all problems related to Vista.

Even if you use 5.10.x, you need to shut down BOINC or you run the risk of losing work (I lost about 80 hours on an unexpected reboot after installing VS). There's a registry change posted in the BOINC FAQ Service to slow down Vista's shut down.

I think if you turn off UAC, you'll be able to have BOINC start up without Vista bugging you.


*sigh*

It would be nice if Vista would actually remember that I told it 'Yeah. I know where this program came from!' But oh well.

More BOINC information than you can shake a stick of RAM at.

And all this time I thought it was me not being Vista savvy!

This is fact: I run BOINC on a 64 bit Vista computer.

This is opinion: Every computer needs a little bit of processor "headroom" at startup, so I feel quite uncomfortable putting a process that will peg my CPU in the startup sequence. That's just asking for trouble.

Still more opinion: User Account Control is one of the most important parts of Vista's security plan. To turn it off is analogous to leaving a spare house key hanging from a string on the doorknob -- on the outside of the door.

This is fact: I hope Vista's SP1 will alleviate some of this.

Thanks for enduring my opinions :-)

User Account Control is one of the most important parts of Vista's security plan.

UAC is garbage. It is intended (as designed) to relieve people of the responsiblity of learning how to protect their computer.

I bet if you choose the 'Inatall Bionic as a Service" Bionic would run much better.

I agree; BOINC should (one of) the last services to start.

For starters, those who have BOINC as a service can use this to delay its startup:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/193888

I would recommend at a minimum that BOINC dependsonservice RpcSS. The "Note:" at the bottom of the linked page says use Spooler as a common service.

I installed BOINC in a directory other then "Program Files" to avoid potential issues with "system areas". This morning, I had my first problem. When I arrived, the machine was not crunching. (Only attached to Rosetta at this time, leave in memory, no graphics, BOINC 5.10.20)

I opened BOINCManager, and it said it could not connect to the client and popped a Try Again messagebox up. The BOINCManager window showed no projects attached, no tasks, no messages. I clicked Yes, and it jumped back into life, populating the Manager window with the correct information. This was at 08:45.

The messages up to 08:21 look normal with no errors, the messages from 08:45 are also normal, only slight oddity is the requests are for a few seconds work, but I have 7 3 hour wu's on the machine at the moment, with connect every 0.1 set as the interval - seems excessive to me. Anyway...
