Hi,
I'm trying to run bionic on my new vista enabled laptop but it fails. I tried first to just install it and it worked for a while but didn't allow me to switch the time settings and then it crashed followed by a total system crash. After reading a bit more on the boards I have now installed it on my D drive. The screen saver seems to start but the program isn't launched. How do I get it to start. I cant see bionic if I check the system tray nor is it visual in the right hand corner where all other applications lurk. So what am I to do? |

There are two possibilities. First, check that the BOINC Manager is in your startup folder, where it should be.
Second, sometimes Windows Defender blocks BOINC Manager from launching at startup. You will need to allow it manually in the Windows Defender settings. |

It sorted itself out after restarting the machine, but it still refuses to crunch any data.
