Hello there!

some time ago i enabled "ATLAS Simulation" in the LHC@home preferences, but after a while i deselected it because it looks like my hardware is barely enough to run them.

Problem is: i keep getting work for that, even if i just double checked and it is in fact NOT selected among the "Run only the selected applications" checkboxes.

Am i the only one? Am i doing something wrong?


Cheers!
Luca

Did you select "If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications?"
If YES (or the box is checked) and you select only sixtrack which currently has no tasks available, you may get ATLAS although it is deselected.

!!! Sorry about this moment if dumbness! I didn't select it, but i didn't check its status neither. :) Now is off, i'll check after this job is completed to see if this still occurs. Thanks.
