I don\'t know if anyone else has run into this problem, but I\'v just installed BOINC 4.45 and attached to both seti@home and climateprediction projects.
I run into the problem though that the graphics display for CPDN doesn\'t work at all. In screensaver mode I just get a black screen, the \"show graphics\" button doesn\'t pop up a window either with the graphics. I know in a previous version I had no problems displaying the CPDN graphics (the globe and such) but now, I can\'t get it to work. The seti@home graphics work fine and dandy though. Any help appreciated.

My system:
* 1.3 GHz AMD Thunderbird (MMX/3dNow, but NO SSE (I know some 3d apps made with the latest compilers at default settings assume SSE, maybe that\'s the problem?))
* 1GB RAM
* Windows XP Pro US-EN
* ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, latest drivers. Checked the OpenGL extensions, everything in there is supported and passes the test.

More than likely it is the BOINC &gt; 4.1x and ATI problem. See <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=2624">this thread</a> among others for an explanation. You can use the advanced visualization (available from the menu on the left) or <a href="http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~sykesm/cpview.html">CPView</a> to view the visualization until they fix the ATI BOINC CPDN problem.
