Hi I've come back to Boinc after several years away. Boinc 6.10.60 is installed on 2 of my W7 32bit computers, one a quad core, the other a dual core. On both computers Boinc is running twice in the system tray displaying duplicate information on hover. I can exit one, but both come back after a reboot. Is this something I can fix? Regards Nick |

I've come back to Boinc after several years away. Boinc 6.10.60 is installed on 2 of my W7 32bit computers, one a quad core, the other a dual core. On both computers Boinc is running twice in the system tray displaying duplicate information on hover. I can exit one, but both come back after a reboot. Quite likely. The v6.10.xx series of BOINC are, normally, started via an entry in the Windows Registry. Earlier versions of BOINC were started via a shortcut in the 'startup' group in the Windows Program menu. That shortcut is now redundant, but there may be a leftover lying about. For Windows 7, specifically: Click the start button, or press the Window key. Click on 'All Programs' Scroll past the individual program names, and through the folder list to 'S' for Startup. Click on Startup. If you see a BOINC entry there, right-click and delete it. That should be all. |
