Greetings. I have installed BOINC manager on several 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium machines and am getting complaints when other users log in. If anyone but the administrative account that installed BOINC manager 6.12.33 (x64) logs in, they get odd semi-blank dialog boxes when they try to "personalize" their windows 7 desktop and BOINC screensaver. Eventually they get the actual BOINC screensaver dialog box, but the sliders for the values that can be set don't take effect and cause more semi-blank dialog boxes when trying to accept the changes or just exiting the settings window. Are others encountering this and are there any solutions so that I can avoid having to uninstall BOINC?
