	Suddenly all my computers are being loaded with enhanced 6.03 work units. I had my preferences set to NOT do these types. Now I cannot change the settings. Everytime I uncheck the enhanced box, update then check again the enhanced box is checked again. And yes I am updating every computer and getting same responses. I can't afford to tie up my computers for 12 to 24 hours per WU. ____________

	I just tried changing the setting on the web site, and had no problem. Did you actually save the changes with the button at the bottm of the page? ____________ BOINC WIKI

	I can't afford to tie up my computers for 12 to 24 hours per WU. Why would you attach a computer without GPU to a project if you don't want to process CPU tasks?

	and if he decided to turn off the computer thats fine too. the newer seti_enhanced Wu's have double the sensitivity of the ones from a few weeks ago. The credits have also been doubled so you aren't wasting time on a WU. my slower computers take about that much time as well. I don't understand what the big deal is. We are all volunteers here so we are all aware that we are spending extra money by having our CPU's running at full speed. ____________ Proud member of TSWB. End terrorism by building a school
