running boinc 6.10.56 on new laptop, set to run during non-use periods. Widescreen laptop monitor using 1gb nvidia 260m card, win 7/64 ult w/8gb.

i keep the startbar on left of the screen in autohide with a wide bar. every time boinc runs, it reduces the width of the startbar to a single increment width.

i have tried no autohide, locked and unlocked.

any suggestions to prevent the resizing of the startbar?

Thanks.

"every time boinc runs":
explain in more detail -

Do you mean - you exit BOINC, resize task bar width, start BOINC again and the task bar width is changed (to what?)?
Or did you reboot to restart BOINC?
Or is the task bar width change from time to time while BOINC is running?
Or is it change after Screensaver exits? (just don't use the Screensaver)
What happens when another Screensaver runs?

How did you find that BOINC is the cause?
