Hello,

I upgraded today Boinc from 6.2... to 6.4.5. (I just installed the new over the old version)
The upgrade was done as user "Administrator". Boinc runs as process, not as service.
Everything works as "Administrator" (3 processes: boinc/boincmgr/boinctray.exe)

However, when logged in as another user (not switching users! A User with limited permissions) I get 2 boinc icons in the systray and 2 boincmgr.exe processes in the task manager. (altogether 4 procs: boinc/boincmgr/boincmgr/boinctray.exe - all started by the second /actual user)
However, only one client (seti..) is running.

How can that be corrected? Autostart folder contains only 1 Boincmanager entry. Sysinternals/Autoruns shows also only 1 entry for boincmgr.exe.

The system is Vista/32bit Ultimate.

Second: Can the automatic usage of Cupa/NVidia GPU suppressed?

Best regards,
Edgar

Delete the entry in the Startup folder.
BOINC Manager is run from the registry since 6.4.5

Not yet, that'll come with the next client, where there's an option in cc_config.xml to state you don't want to use the GPU.

Thanks! It worked as you described it.
I did not read the the "autoruns" output carefully enough.
