The problem I encountered was that when I restarted my computer Bionic would not run. There is an easy way to get Bionic to run. Just left click your mouse on "blocked start up programs" (lower right hand corner of menu bar) now left click your mouse on "Show or remove blocked program" and then click on "Bionic Client" and choose to allow it to run and it will run.
I read that the programmers for Bionic are going to fix this issue but until then, it's not that hard at all, to get it to run. I keep my system running 24/7 so it's not that much of a hassle for me. |

An easier method: remove BOINC from your startup folder, then start it manually with a single click.
If you are worried about forgetting, then install BOINC as a service. It will start automatically (before you log in, even!) and you can start BOINC Manager manually as above. BOINC 6 will make this much easier, but right now it's not ready for release (and I don't advise trying it out, either). |
