This HP h8-1010 is not the dedicated BOINC machine (“OEM”) but if I can’t solve the problem (BOINC software lost on restart) I will only be using the machine about 5 minutes a day and not every day Like an unused door stop if I can't run BOINC Another computer is my main computer (Gateway NV 78) My name is Robert Lee Reynolds Other account names are an inside joke I am sure no one gets Saturn Award nominees or recipients Amber Tamblyn, Amanda Tapping, "Lexa" Alexandra Lecciones Doig M@H gave me the name when I started Another cruncher said "Are you installing Boinc as a 'service' when you install it? If so STOP doing that!" I don't understand that so I don't think I am doing that I do the same thing I have always done and never had a problem Travis Desell thinks it may be a problem with a windows file causing an abnormal start up of windows Seems like I saw BOINC come up for a second on start up then went away

I am the person that talked about a 'service' install, when you go thru the initial Boinc installation process you come to a screen that talks about file locations and some items that you can change if you click the 'advanced' button. The list includes installing Boinc as a 'service', that is what I am talking about.

The next thing I need to ask is with all those user names do you log onto the computer as the same person each and every time? And do you switch users during the time the computer is running or are you logged on as the same person, and stay logged on, the entire time the pc is on? If you are using other accounts at any time then you NEED to switch to the 7.3.? series of Boinc as this is designed for this whereas all earlier versions do not support that very well if at all. The gpu crunching still does NOT work when switching users, but the cpu crunching DOES keep working now.
