Thanks to all for the help. Yes the boinctray.exe is running and it still takes 100% of both CPUs all the time so it looks like not only is the keyboard/mouse detection broken but it doesn't check anything in the prefs file, at least on my machine. O well I can live with turning it off in the AM and on when I leave but it misses a lot of dead time durring the day when I'm not using the computer that way. Hopefully it will all be fixed soon.

Boinc runs both my CPUs at 100% regardless of settings on Vista Biz 64. It completely ignores the settings under preferences and runs at 100% all the time regardless of if it's in screensaver mode or not. It will give up only enough CPU to allow other programs to run so the my CPU is always 100% on both cores. The only way to stop this is to suspend Seti or its projects, then the CPU drops to normal. Any help would be appreciated. Nothing exotic or strange in the machine.
