hey, i think i may have a problem. i\'m running two climate models, with a 3.0 Ghz w/ HT, one gig of RAM and 128 MB ATI Radeon video card. the problem is with the screensaver model. it screwed up the entire display, it looked like two globes flickering together, looked really weird. when i exited the screensaver, the desktop looked the exact same way, and it didnt look like it was in any way healthy for my computer :-( i rebooted my computer and everything went back to normal, but now i\'m a bit hesitant to reenable the screensaver. so i\'m wondering if anyone else has had this problem? or, better yet, does anyone have a solution to my problem? thanks a lot

are you running the hadsm3 version 4.13 (should be listed in the boinc "Work" tab)? that's the only one that is "certified" for ATI cards. do you have the latest drivers for the video card?
