Exiting

Every other time I exit the BOINC Manager using File, Exit I find boinc.exe and any preempted projects still active in Task Manager Processes.
Am I doing summat wrong (wouldn't be the first time)?

Well as you have asked for BOINC to remain in memory it is doing what you have asked it to do :lol:

When I was still having problems with Rosetta I switched back to No. That's why I asked. It seems to do it about half the time though which is weird.

Usually I don't even bother exiting Boinc Manager. It comes on when GertII comes on and switches off when GertII switches off.

It was only because I wanted to load the Seti opti app that I exited and I used File, Exit because I'd had a look which WU was crunching - if it had been BBC I would have waited for the checkpont doodah before exiting.

I'm totally confused by this

Hi Jackie,

You're not doing anything wrong...!

I get the same problem sometimes.

Sometimes it goes away fairly quickly. Other times it hangs around so I "kill" the task by highlighting and selecting "End process".

I get the same problem with "Outlook" - can shut it down, but even now there's at least 4 instances of it sitting there, consuming my memory....!

regards,

Tim
