Question from a new cruncher about running BOINC on a laptop. I have a couple spare laptops in the office here that I was going to set BOINC on and run, but I would like to leave them closed. I have changed their action to Nothing when the lid closes and to never go to sleep when plugged in, but when I close them and re-open, I can't get the display to come back on without a hard reboot. Am I missing something?

Disregard this post. I just went with setting up with what *should* have worked, wrote down the elapsed times, waited a while, rebooted, and it seems to be running. Now starting a small pile on my desk (heat permitting) of laptops crunching away! This thread can be closed.
