Hey all,

I've a question.
When I pause BOINC, when I'm playing a video-game for example.
BOINC automaticly resumes after a while?? I noticed the pause symbol was gone after an amount of time.
Someone knows how to fix? Or do I accidently press a key combination?

Depends on how you paused BOINC. If with the Snooze option on the icon in the system tray, then do know that Snooze will only run for an hour.

You're better off using the <exclusive_app> option in cc_config.xml
If you now update to BOINC 7.0.25, which is going to be mainstream soon, then you can add programs through the local advanced preferences window. See http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Local_preferences#Exclusive_applications for more information.

Download links to 7.0.25 can be found in the last post in the Change Log thread.
