I\'d like to get climate prediction running on a lot more machines. Our Dept. has a number of computers for student use. I was unable to install the software on the student\'s account. When I logged on as the administrator I was able to get the software installed and running fine. When I logged off as administrator and back on as a student I received a number of errors and BOINC wouldn\'t run. When I logged back on as administrator it ran fine.

Problem is, I don\'t want to leave these computers running logged on as administrator. Any options or settings to try? These are Win2000 Pro machines.

Thanks.

Maybe you can let them run as a service, it will be working also when the accounts are logged off.

Sharing the BOINC folder will allow running as a limited account. You may also have to share the directory to get the service running.
