	Hi, Does anyone know why I cannot setup my preferences to run tasks while computer is Idle? Even if i select Always run and not use preferences, computation stops 2 and half minutes later stating no recent user activity. ____________

	That probably has to do with the following preference setting: Suspend work if no mouse/keyboard activity in last --- minutes (Needed to enter low-power mode on some computers) Enforced by version 5.10.14+ Make sure that your setting is "---" and not "2.5".
