You have the option to tick Run Always if you right click on the system tray icon but is there a way to set this as the default somewhere?

Thanks

That's what I would have thought. Apparently that's not it because I have it set to yes but I always have to manually tick the choice in the system tray icon.

After the change, need to do an "Update", right click in tab "Projects".

Sorry, been there, done that. For me it did not make any difference. That's why I posted the question in the first place. Maybe this is a bug? It seems to me that it may be related to some of the other symptoms that are appearing like not being able to update profile photos or change URLs for logos.

I'm curious, I'm running Windows 2000 Advanced Server. What OS are you running that this feature is working for you?

Did you had a message in the tab "Messages" saying your preferences has been updated?

Running Win XP still SP1. Running without any problems.
Using broadband and ZoneAlarm.

I did initially but I'm not sure about since the problems with the logo and profile picture began. Unfortunately, I'm also unable to keep the client running for more than a few seconds. Last time this happened, I had to reset the projects and lost all of my completed pending WU's. I'm trying BOINC now rinning as a service, so I'm not sure how to get a display of the messages when it's running that way.

Just installed 4.08 and keeping my fingers crossed but the client is up and running. In answer to your question, yes, it says that General Preferences were modified today, which is when I last tried to make any changes. Even so, the client defaulted to Run Based On Preferences. So maybe it is running always but the check mark doesn't move to the Run Always choice. I've been so wrapped up in just trying to get this to work I didn't think of that until now.

Think about it. If your Preferences are equivalent to Run Always then when the client tells you it is running "Based on Preferences", it IS (obviously) "running always".

Well, sure, it's obvious NOW!

Sure wish there was a "Delete this post" option for my posts...
