If the screensaver is activated it was observed two times that the screen freezes, the processor is at maximum cpu load and the BOINC server tried to upload data???? though the model was not finished. See also my account statistic. The server reports a client error. Problem disappears if the screensaver is not used.

Windows 2000 SP4, AMD xp1900, 654 ram
anybody knows this problem.

These problems often turn out to be related to the graphics drivers. Install the latest drivers for your card from the manufacturer's website, and see if that helps.

Ir is not a good idea to use this project as a screensaver because it is processor intensive. You can view the graphics by right clicking on the run in the work tab of BOINC.
