Hi,

I'm trying to get my Mac to process 100% of the time only using a portion of my processor time.

It was set to only run after 1 min of no activity. I've tried to reset this to zero but the Boinc client won't accept a zero. I've set the suspend when active to'no' and updated the client's setting but the boince client will only start processing after 1 min on no activity - as soon as I touch mouse/keyboard the client suspends - I want it to carry on.

My web prefs are below. Any ideas please?

Thanks, Richard

If you've accidentally set the local preferences, they override the web preferences. You may want to check there to see if the preferences are set.
