Is your boinc manager set to "run always", or "run based upon prefs"? (under "activity" file menu of the boinc manager). Also Check to make sure which ever your using or preferably both are set to use use atleast 2 processors in the setting "use at most X processors". ID: 658941 ·

Some hours later I noticed that BOINC continued as expected: 2 tasks running. But it took several hours until the second task switched to running again. strange ... :-/ Join team KRAFTWERK - all BOINCers welcome! :-) ID: 659070 ·
