I don't run the BBC version as I have been running the climate prediction module for some months before the BBC got into it. I have also noticed this behaviour on mt xp box as well as my MDK box. I installed it as a user, so I can't see that installing as root is causing it. It should run the same as root or user. Root version might have priority over resources maybe? There is the obvious security risk running it as root. I don't run the graphical interface very often on the MDK box. I just start it from the command line and let it chug on in the background. Going to my account I see that some of the results had errors and I see when it starts up it sends a message home to report results and fetch new work, so perhaps it is seeing that the work unit has errors and is starting it from scratchGuy Faulks the only person to enter the Parliament with honest intentions and he was going to blow them up ! --------------------------------------------- Free POP3 Email from www.Gawab.com Sign up NOW and get your account @gawab.com!! ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
