This may be obvious but, can someone please explain
why the icon in my systray has an orange dot at the
bottom righthand corner.
Have I contracted something lol.
I only have it on 1 of my 4 rigs.
Thank's in advance.

If it's a red cross that you see, it means that either BOINC Manager is the only thing running or that it can't make a connection with the client.

If it's a little square that you see, it means that BOINC is suspended or snoozing.
