If you set it to use the screensaver on the install of BOINC, perhaps you need to update your video card drivers? ID: 14032 · Reply Quote

If so it could the BOINC problem that has been fixed but CP will have to recompile their app which they will get around to sometime. Meanwhile you could try the advanced visualisation - see achived news items, or CPView http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~sykesm/cpdn.html ID: 14045 · Reply Quote
