ahhh, usually that whole correct folder thing seems to work best....in this case though I got the same result (or lack there of). My head is starting to hurt with this.

BOINC runs as if the cc_config file isn't there (C:\Program Files\BOINC). I read it in through the advance menu...

3/27/2010 8:14:06 AM Re-reading cc_config.xml
3/27/2010 8:14:06 AM Re-read config file
3/27/2010 8:14:06 AM log flags: file_xfer, sched_ops, task

nothing about the exclusive apps

I have done that, and I just rebooted my machine, and still nothing.

I am running win7 x64
Boinc version 6.10.18

<cc_config>
<options>
<exclusive_app>RelicCOH.exe</exclusive_app>
<exclusive_app>DAOrigins.exe</exclusive_app>
</options>
</cc_config>

and RelicCOH.exe is currently running, with no effect (4 climateprediction.net models are running)

Thank you for that. I found the option...

<exclusive_app>
BOINC will suspend computing whenever the executable is running (e.g., a game). Multiple applications can be specified.
Warning: Do check your system for other applications with the same name. Since there will be no path used, any application with this name will suspend BOINC, not just the one you want (like a game).
looks like this... <exclusive_app>important.exe</exclusive_app>

but where and how do I put in what .exe I want to trigger it. Right now I have <cc_config>
<options>
<exclusive_app>RelicCOH.exe</exclusive_app>
</options>
</cc_config>

and it isn't doing anything

I have seen significant increases in performance in programs after suspending BOINC, so I don't think it is fully taking a back seat to things like it should.

Anyway to have CPU usage different from all or nothing? I have a quad core CPU and would like it to use all cores when I am not on the computer, but when I am I'd like it to step down to 2 or three cores (depending on what I set it to). Is there anyway to do this other than manually changing it from 100% to 75%?

Post:
Which version of BOINC are you using and on which OS (besides Windows)?
When you navigate to your BOINC (Data) directory, then open stderrdae.txt, does it give you (and us) a clue there what happened?
What if you look in Windows Event Viewer?

I am running v 6.2.19 on Vista 64. The text file you are reffering to does not exist on my system.

I am not running a firewall, and I changed no settings, it just happened after a reboot.

I am getting a similar thing. "BOINC Manager is not able to connect to a BOINC client. Would you like to try to connect again?" any suggestions?

When I shut down the program, by right clicking on the icon in the lower right corner and saying close, I can still see that it is running in my task manager, and using the processors. The only way I have found to stop this is to uninstall the program. I have Vista 64 business edition with a AMD 6400+ processor.
