I thank you all for the replies about my Deep Freeze question. I have sent something to the partners page and am waiting to hear back from them. I now have another question.
Here in our university labs, we require all the students to login (we have to be able to track in case the FBI comes calling). If a student is not logged in at the time, the computer sits at the login screen or goes to a screen saver (but not the same one as when the student is logged in). After 45 min. the monitors just turn off. Is WCG running while the computer sits at the login screen? Does anyone know how to change the screen saver of the computer when it's not logged in as a user? Paul Glenn University of Kentucky |

Since posting this I have found the .vbs to make this run as a service. However, I'm having problems getting it to actually run. The error that I get is "The system cannot find the file specified." Start with line 63 the script shows this:
' Kill any existing UD.EXE process cmdLine=installFilesLoc&"nircmd.exe killprocess "&WCGExe objShell.Run cmdLine,0,True The error says it occurs on line 65 Character 5. I have tried running this in its own directory with the files needed and also the directory for WCG. I have also changed the Const installFilesLoc vairable. I even tried commenting these lines out and just killed the process manually, but it still didn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.... |

Here is the URL to the Unofficial World Community Grid: http://www.unofficialworldcommunitygrid.com/index.shtml
It has a short article about running WCG as a service. |

Please post the directory on your machine where you have the required files (INSTSRV.EXE, SRVANY.EXE, NIRCMD.EXE, and the .VBS script), and also post the installFilesLoc constant that you're using. |

Thank you for your reply. I have since worked with it and just did it the manual way and it worked just fine.
Thanks again, Paul |
