Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

It is not a program, it is the Bug only. 5g1d4l

1. BOINC cannot determine the size and position of the work area of the screen (half hided under the Task Bar).
2. After the project selection window is displayed, it does not react to the keyboard pushing at all. Before – do not know.

I killed it with by means of the Task Manager.
The cause of the epidemic is clear, if scientists are so inept.

Location Fix, Project Selection 3j595o

I set a new default of letting it pick the location, so it'll do that for new installs.

The project selection I've found sometimes needs to be closed with the X on the first run for both local and portable installs. Not sure why.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Disk space - setting max a5s3i

On DL page, it is told "Note that projects may use multiple gigabytes of data on your device while working".
I've not tested yet, but there's a option "Use no more than ____ GB of disk space" under "Options" and "Computing Preferences".
(You set how many GB you want).

Rev 2 69554d

Rev 2 fixes an issue where the manager may not display properly on first run at lower resolutions.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

The same. Can not view part of main window. 3e1i4k

1920*1080 is low resolution?
I can not trust a program that hides its window. After start the main window half hided under the Task Bar. If I try to call window menu (to select «Move»), the main window simply closes.

Bug only, not a program.

Can this be used with Folding 6n4r55

Can this be used with Folding@home? I know BOINC can be used with other (name)@home services.
