You can place the World Community Grid icon into each of the user's startup folders (in Start Menu->Programs->Startup), which will make the agent start whenever those particular users log on. You can also place it in the startup folder for "All users" which should make it run for everyone. One way to get to these folders is via: My Computer -> Local disk C: -> Documents and Settings -> All Users -> Start Menu -> Programs -> Startup, for example.
How do I open the windows World Community Grid agent and what's there?
On your windows desktop, typically in the bottom right of your screen, is the system tray. It looks similar to this in Windows XP:
In the system tray you should have an icon that looks like this:
Double left mouse click on it and you will see the agent.
In the lower right of the agent you will see several icons. This is what they are:
Agent home page. General information plus your Member Name.
Application page. Graphics about Human Proteome Folding.
Device page. Information about your PC. This is also where you can stop the agent from running.
Snooze. Clicking on the button will stop the agent for 5 minutes. Clicking it again will restart the agent. You can change the length of time that the agent snoozes on the device page.
Help. Agent Help facility
Minimize. Minimize the agent to the system tray.
Can I use Terminal Services with the software?
Multiple users running the software via Terminal Services is not a supported configuration at this time. Allowing multiple users to run from the same install image can cause problems, whether this is via Terminal Services or running from a shared network directory. The supported configuration is one instance of the software per machine. The software will prevent multiple instances of itself from being launched.
How do I keep the agent from running while my laptop is only using battery power?
If you have the proper device drivers installed for power management on your laptop, the agent should automatically stop when you go to battery power. If this is not the case, open your agent and click on the snooze option (moon shape icon) or minimize the agent and then right click on its icon in the icon tray in the lower right, and select "Exit". This will stop it until the next reboot or until you explicitly start it using the start menu.
I need to completely stop the agent for a while. How do I do it?
If you need to stop your agent for a little while, use the snooze icon (moon shape) on the agent. You can change the default on the preferences page (check icon). If you are running a memory intensive application for a longer period of time and notice slight delays, you might want to set the agent to run only as a screen saver. Go to the preferences window (the one with the check icon) and select "Run only as Screen Saver" and then click on "Apply". This will make the agent only run when your pc is in screen saver mode. Finally, you can completely stop the agent by first minimizing its window, right clicking on its icon in the tray at the lower right, and selecting "Exit". This causes the agent to stop until the next reboot. You can also restart it at any time using the Start menu.
I am already running a United Devices grid technology agent from grid.org. Will I be able to run both?
No. In order to participate in World Community Grid, you must first shut down any running agent that you currently have on your system. To do so, simply run World Community Grid's installer once to uninstall the United Devices client. Then run World Community Grid's installer a second time to install World Community Grid's agent.
