Dear Jord,

thanks for your reply.
Did I understand your post correctly that I need to uninstall and reinstall Boinc? I have tried to "repair" the current installation, but it doesn't give me the option of installing as a service on any screen.

I thought that the service ought to start without logging in. That's one reason I really wondered that I needed to start the Manager to get the Boinc-projects running.

Regards,
Pelle.

Hi all,

I've been running Boinc for some years now and rarely had any problems (which probably is the reason that I don't know too much about how this thing really works).
On my Notebook it's the first time I use Windows Vista (Home Premium). Unfortunately, Boinc doesn't start automatically any longer (service???).
When logging in, the Boinc-Manager will be blocked from execution and needs to be started manually. It's only then, when the manager starts, that the CPU-load is going up. Before the manager starts, execution of Boinc-projects is not running. I really can't explain why this is. Boinc should be running as a service and thus execute even before login. I can't see why computation starts when the manager is started manually.
I always keep my Boinc installation current (that is 6.6.28 at the moment).
There are no errors (that I have found) anywhere.
Please let me know what information I need to provide and what can be done to get Boinc to run as a service again.

Thanks in advance,
regards,
Pelle.
