Questions and problems :
Boinc a "Blocked Startup Program"?
(Message 18366)
Posted 11 Jul 2008 by Akin Post: Windows Defender is in fact doing the blocking and BOINC version 6 has the fixes for it. Alternate, re-install as a Service and place the installation outside the C:\Program Files\.. structure e.g. C:\BOINC\ or D:\BOINC\. That will allow the launch of the core client even before signing in. Use the Services.msc to change the BOINC service line (right click, properties) startup box form automatic to automatic (start with delay) for improved boot up experience. Well, I saw version 6, but it warns against using it except for testing... As for "service"... errr... is there anything anywhere that explains what that is and how to do it? |

Questions and problems :
Boinc a "Blocked Startup Program"?
(Message 18357)
Posted 11 Jul 2008 by Akin Post: Greetings! Well, I finally had to start using Vista, as they weren’t selling any new laptops with XP on it anymore. One of the first things I did was install BOINC (BTW anyone know why I can’t re-join SETI@Home?). When I reboot, BOINC doesn’t run automatically anymore... it’s listed as a “Blocked Startup Program” and I need to manually run it, and enter the freaking admin password to make it work. I had heard that BOINC had some problems with Vista if you didn’t install it in C:\Boinc, which is what I did; but obviously I’m still having a problem... are there any suggestions for this (aside from “Don’t use Vista”... trust me, this isn’t by choice!). Vista’s been out for what, a year and a half now? I would have thought any compatibility errors would have been worked out long ago... Thanks! |
