Hi all!

Yesterday I have installed 6.3.11 BOINC Manager version. Here is it's messages after startup:

8 tasks are running (!!!), including PS3GRID WU on nVidia graphic card. So strange... I think it's a serious bug, and now I'm using BOINC 6.3.10 again.

Do know we aren't following the updates of BOINC 6.3 at these forums, but they are being talked about on the one project's forums that is using them for testing exclusively. See this thread at the GPUGrid forums for more information (and the other forums for additional information).

Hi. I've just noticed this on my machine too but I'm running v6.2.19.

Downloaded x64 version direct from here running on Vista x64.

I'm getting the same as Rabinovitch but more worryingly I noticed it because I was investigating why boinc has created a user file/account called boinc_master. This was the only thread about it the search found.

C:\Users\boinc_master\

I find this a bit worrying though it doesn't show up in account managing. Not sure if should find that more worrying.

Please read the release notes on this subject. Also read the FAQ on the subject.

Oh OK think I get it now.
To do with PAE, runs under unprivileged account.
Thanks.

The 'Improved Windows security' section explanation of those release notes would maybe be better explanation of pae during setup when looking at enabling/disabling the option.

I've been trying to get the developers so far that they do this, but so far for nowt. I'll keep trying though.
