Bram, I've setup an XP system and ran through the install scenarios you described, I think I understand what is going on now.
There are a couple of bugs for me to fix to make things more robust under the newer version of InstallShield we are using. In the mean time, could you reinstall 7.0.28 and make sure the "Protected Application Execution" checkbox is unchecked. Go ahead and complete the install. The next step is to disable both the 'boinc_project' and 'boinc_master' accounts. That should return Windows XP to the automatic logon scenario you are used too. Apparently the Windows Welcome screen only automatically logs on when only one non-disabled account exists on the system. ----- Rom -----Original Message----- From: Bram Weiser [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, February 04, 2013 1:34 PM To: Rom Walton Subject: RE: [boinc_dev] BOINC Manager v7.x screensaver hibernates my Windows XP PC when I resume control Rom, I honestly don't know (how could I find out?) but I don't THINK so...though I could be wrong. Also, if I did this for both(!) versions of BOINC, then, Christian's answer aside, how come the experience would be so different with one version as opposed to the other?

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. _______________________________________________ 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.
