Well I can confirm that it starts up where you left off because I just had to shut down unexpectedly after a failed Daiblo 2 install...Also if your roommates are running Vista it won't go so smoothly for them, unless I have something setup incorrectly. When Vista loads it blocks Boinc, but unlike other programs that it blocks where it gives you an "allow" or "cancel" dialog, you actually have to right click the little icon in the taskbar, and choose to unblock it. There probably is a way to let Vista allow it every time or make an exception, but I still haven't figured out how to do it. The same thing happens with Precision, the EVGA overclocking tool, but at least that just gives me a simple allow or cancel dialog. Maybe next time I reboot it will give me that option. I'll try again and keep you posted.
EDIT: So I just rebooted again and I did have to go through the same procedure again to get Boinc running. Right click the blocked program icon in the taskbar, choose unblock a program, choose boinc, then you get the allow or continue dialog. After that you are good to go. Hopefully your roommates are running XP so they don't have to deal with it! Anybody know of a way to add boinc, and other programs I guess, to an exception list on startup?
