\b \cf0 Installing GridRepublic Desktop may take several minutes; please be patient.
\b0 \
\
\b Dual GUP Powerbooks:
\b0 Some newer Powerbooks have dual graphics processors, one that is more powerful and another that is more energy-efficient, and they switch between them automatically. This can cause your screensaver to flash on and off frequently, and can prevent BOINC from detecting the more powerful GPU which is needed to process some applications. You can force selection either {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4110"}}{\fldrslt \cf2 permanently}} or temporarily using a {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://codykrieger.com/gfxCardStatus/"}}{\fldrslt \cf2 third-party utility}}. But be aware that forcing the use of the NVIDIA GPU may cause faster battery drain; this of course is not an issue when running on AC power.\
\
If you are upgrading from a version earlier than 6.8.0, you may see a message "Failed to convert file GridRepublic Desktop Preferences to Unicode." This is due to our addition of full Unicode support to the GridRepublic Desktop. If you get this message, you may need to readjust your column widths and other GridRepublic Desktop view options, but no other problems will result. When you quit GridRepublic Desktop, these settings will be saved in the new Unicode format.\
\
Due to new restrictions imposed by OS 10.6 Snow Leopard, there has been a change in GridRepublic Desktop's security implementation. Non-administrative users can no longer run GridRepublic Desktop unless they are added to group boinc_master. As of GridRepublic Desktop 6.10.5, the GridRepublic Desktop installer asks whether or not you wish to allow this.\
