Since then the tasks window has reported a status of activities suspended for the two projects I'm running (SETI and Einstein). I've never encountered this with previous versions of Boinc. Any suggestions to get the tasks running? ID: 6205 ·

If there is a button called 'resume', then click it once. * Go to the project tab, and select the suspended project. If 'project suspended' appears in italics against the project name, then click the resume button. * Go to the activity menu, and see if 'suspend' has a dot next to it. If so, then click on 'run always'. The third is usually the best suspend/unsuspend option to use, since the others can result in new work units downloading to your PC unexpectedly. ID: 6208 ·

Option 3 has me sightly puzzled. Where is the activity menu? Do you mean right clicking on the icon in the Dock or is it a PC thing (I'm running a Mac)? In previous versions of Boinc, right clicking on the icon in the Dock brought up an option to run always or suspend. This new version does not have these options. The only option is sleep and the problem presists if sleep is on or off. ID: 6218 ·
