How do I stop this Frankenstein? I set BOINC to run only when idle for at least 1 minute. But it runs ALL THE TIME! This slows down my other activity.

DO I HAVE TO UNINSTALL?

Frankenstein was the Doctor, and his creation was called the monster...When I set mine it works perfectly, but I am using 4.70 and 4.71.

Which ver you using????

As usual, it's my own blindness. I had the option (under File...?) set to run always, instead of run according to preferences.

Thanks for that. That was the magic dust I was looking for too. For me with my Linux boincmgr program, it was under Commands > Run based on preferences. There appears to be a bug where the checkbox doesn't get selected in the menu, but it works nonetheless.

I also had to click on the Update button in the Projects tab to suck down those preferences.
