Hi!
I can't find the answer for my question:

Is it possible to get BOINC project work during my work - not only as a screen saver but also when i'm doing my word processing?

If not that is my one wish to be added to "wish list"!

Thx

You have three choices for when it works;
Run always . . . . . . . . . . as it says, uses all unused cpu capacity
Run based on preferences . . Stops working if you use keyboard or mouse, or other program running
Suspend . . . . . . . . . . . . Stops all BOINC projects.

These options are available in the BOINC Manager, commands menu tab, or by right clicking BOINC 'B' in task bar.

Peferences can adjusted in Your account, top of this page, in processor usage.

Thx,

I've already set "RUN ALLWAYS" mode but there's no progress in calculations or it's very sloooooow. Would it possible (add to wish list) to set how much processor time would i like to get used by BOINC...


Thx anyhow for Your replay and answer

Check what else is running in the task manager. On most systems, you should see the Seti or other project client software running around of 80 to 90%, unless you have some other application that is hogging the CPU. Boinc is designed to run at the lowest priority and give up cycle to all other software.
