I suffered the misfortune of an MS Windows XP \'blue screen\' event, which resulted in me having to rebuild my system. I have a backup of my current Climate Prediction model, which is a copy the BIONIC folder contents taken just after my last year end trickle message. I copyed this folder into the MS Program Files folder and it appears to work. However, BIONIC no longer starts automatically when I boot up my system - I have to physically restart it by selecting the bionicmgr.exe program in the copied BIONIC folder. How can I get my model to automatically restart when I boot up the system?

I am loosing a considerable amount of processing time whenever I forget to manually restart my model.

Regards

John

Reinstall boinc with the options you want. That should do it.

Just to reinforce what Astro says: I had a similar catastrophic failure and had to rebuild Windows XP. I simply reinstalled BOINC onto the Boinc folder and everything else carried on as it should.

Just for the record, John, what was missing was a shortcut for BOINC in the Windows startup folder.
And possibly a registry entry.

Redownloading BIONIC and reinstalling appears to have solved the problem. However I missed checking the link provided by astroWX where MikeMars appears to have provided a more elegant solution of using the MS Command prompt - though (for the record) this may not have updated the registry entry as indicated by Les Bayliss?

Many thanks to all contributors to this thread.

I think that the registry entry is made however BOINC is installed.
And if you\'re still not 100% happy about it, you can always do it again.
Just make sure that BOINC is not running when re-installing.
