Hello, and thank you for reading my post, I recently posted "BOINC Manager v7.x seems to create Windows User Accounts that pause my boot-up" (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=8155), the key parts of which I'm reproducing below, to the BOINC Message Boards but, unfortunately, no one has followed up there yet.
After I then contacted a Volunteer Helper with BOINC and provided some information (also included here, farther below) that I discovered after submitting that first post, he suggested that I post my issue here, so here I am. Can you please advise/assist me in trying to understand why this is happening, and what I can do about it? Thank you very much, Bram Weiser ********** FROM THE ORIGINAL POST: I recently upgraded my BOINC Manager v6.x (probably v6.10.60) to v7.0.28, and now I suspect that doing so has caused some new User Accounts to be created on my Windows (XP SP2) PC that cause my boot-up process to pause so that I can choose which Account to log-in with. I say all of this because: * During boot-up, the process pauses to ask me to choose a User Account, yet the only(!) one shown is mine. I now need to actually choose it there in order for the boot-up to proceed. * Going to Control Panel --> User Accounts shows that above-mentioned Adminstrator account that's in my name along with two (2 -- boinc_master and boinc_project, both of which are "limited accounts" and "password protected") that are tied to BOINC. * I haven't had a need to go into User Accounts before, so I can only guess that v7.x created them. ********** FROM MY EMAIL TO THE VOLUNTEER HELPER: Please also note that the new BOINC Manager v7.x seems to make my computer "hibernate", thus directing me to that User Account screen I spoke of, when I try to regain control from the screensaver. Why would this be happening, especially when it wasn't the case with v6.x? _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
