Is this still available?

How do you setup BOINC and the projects to run in service mode, so that even whe logged out it does work?

Uninstall BOINC.
Restart the BOINC installer.
At the third screen of the installer, click Advanced.
Next check "Protected Application Execution".
Continue installation as normal.

This may require a reboot at the end of installation to finalize making Windows groups and accounts.

Installing BOINC in service mode will stop BOINC from being able to detect GPUs, even on Windows XP. This due to separation of drivers and services, and due to a bug in GPU drivers all-together, which caused BOINC to crash.
