For whatever reason I have been unable to get my Preferences for home, work, school to take effect. I can get my general preferences to apply to my computers but when I make changes and then select which location my computers are at it does not affect they way my BOINC client runs.

I can see they are not taking effect because i set my school preferences to use 2 processors and my work preferences to use only 1. Either way I set this it does not apply when Updating. I am able to get it to do what I want by making changes in my BOINC general preferences then updating the client but this is not how it should work.

Shelby,

If you're still having a problem with this, have a look at a thread I created on <a href="//climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=259">a similar topic here</a>.

Whilst my own resolution may not help you, Carl's final comments re bugs in the BOINC scheduler software may, at least, help to explain why you've had the problem.

Cheers
Dave
