I set my computing prefs to not run tasks on the GPU unless the computer is in an idle state. But each time the computer enters this state, a new task starts runnning, not the one that had been running in the last idle state session. This results in many 'waiting to run' tasks.

Is there anything I can do?

BOINC is version 6.6.36 and is running on Windows XP Service Pack 3.
This is a HP DC7800 with a Core 2 Duo processor and an NVidia Quadro NVS 290 graphics card.

That seems to have fixed the problem. Now BOINC is restarting tasks not running when the system is not idle.
