1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : When screensaver starts, BOINC shows suspended. (Message 2021)

I seem to have the same (or a similar) problem.

When the screensaver first starts it's fine, but once BOINC switches projects, the screensaver says "BOINC is not running". When I exit and restart the screensaver, it shows the graphics for the current project again, and all looks normal.

When this happens, Boinc Manager also stops responding from the system tray, but according to the screensaver (after I restart it), work is still being done by the core client. I can do an End Task on Manager, and start it up again without incident.

I can run BOINC constantly in the background for hours on end while doing other things, and never have problem with the manager locking up. It's just when the Screensaver is running , and it switches projects.

I have it set to "Run always", and "Network activity always available". I have it installed for Single User, and set to run at login (I'm the only user on this computer).

I'm thinking this may be a memory issue for me.

3) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Switch Application on completion of Work Unit? (Message 2012)

Is there a way I can make BOINC complete whole work units before switching applications? It just seems "messy" to me, for it to alternate between 4 different half-completed jobs.

The only control I can find over this is the "switch between aplications every ___ minutes".

I guess the problem would be that my current climate prediction unit lists 1096:27:24 to completion, and that might cause some of the others to fall just a tad behind. But I'd at least like to have it run entire blocks of the smaller jobs (like SETI and Rosetta), and not switch until they are complete.

Can this be done?
