Does anyone use Multiplicity with Bionc? Multiplicity is a program that allows you to control several computers using a single keyboard and mouse.

I use it and whenever I have tried to use Boinc it would seem that the multiplicity program prevents Boinc from starting..... I think somehow the multiplicity program waiting to detect mouse activity keeps the computer from being considered idle.... but I am not sure.

This has prevented me from staying with Boinc. I really would like to still contribute to Boinc and Seti.

Anyone have any suggestions/ideas how to solve this?

And why don't you set BOINC to run apps Always?

Why not look into using a different program for the sharing of the mouse/keyboard with your several computers?

E.g.
Sharemouse
Synergy
Input Director
