I'm not sure how you prevent a non-service mode BOINC v6 from running at startup, but you would be wise to do so: my only experience is v5 where you took the shortcut out of the 'Startup' program group, but nowadays I think it's GUI or registry.

I have not found a way to get the process to auto-start on Vista anyway. Since it is a non-registered Process it asks for permission to start every time the machine is re-booted. Pain in the b*tt but it does circumvent the problem under discussion here.

F.

PS If anyone else can shed any light on the other bits that I posted, then I would be eternally grateful. One thing that I omitted to mention in my previous post is that occasionally (just occasionally - not every time the errors are encountered by any means) the box starts erroring out ALL following CUDA WU's with "-9's" and required a re-boot of the box to stop this behaviour.

Mods, can we lock this thread please. Discussions can continue in the new one.
