F@H as service, again.

I reinstalled folding on one PC, I set it up to run as a service. When I started the PC folding ran but if anybody logs onto another account it stops. It used to run before even if the PC was at the logon screen. I am using the 5.02 console version. Here is part of the log, The times are wrong, no problem, but the time when it shutdown was when somebody logged on. Is there a way to always run it as a service all the time?

Go to the management console and under "Services" see if it's set to run as a "System" service, or as a "User" service. "System" ought to get you the always-running mode you want.
