must admit, I don't exit like that, I right click the tray icon and select exit
but would think they both do the same thing

I dunno why its still running for ya

have you tried the optimised seti app yet?

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

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

Am I doing summat wrong (wouldn't be the first time)?

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
