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".

Thanks, But I'm running Ver 6.6.36 which does not have an option for keyboard/mouse actrivity. |

It does. It's in the computing preferences (here on the web site, under your account). |
