When I quit BOINC 4.13, the CPN app still runs, continually using cpu power even though the boinc_gui is exited. I had to use the task manager to exit it and caused a computation error. Because of this I have wasted several WU\'s and I\'ve detached from this project. This doesn\'t happen on any other project. Any solutions?

AMD Athlon XP 1700+ (1.46Ghz)

When you quit you need to first suspend then click exit on the boinc File menu or right clicking then system tray. It has been noted by a few others that boinc doesn't handle the exit or windows shutdown commands well.

I usually show the bionc window and do this from the File menu as I've had occasional problems with the system tray icon.

No Good, it stills runs when its suspended. In the task manager, there are two CPN programs, hadsm3_4.04_windows_intelx86.exe &amp; hadsm3um_4.04_windows_intelx86.exe. The um program still runs when its suspended. The other one quits. Any more solutions? I dont want to end it suddenly for a error.

Nevermind, it suspends. Thanks for your help DaveN.
