Upgraded to 4.45--minor problem or two resolved with help--SETI@home and climateprediction now chugging along fine but when the screen saver is called I get the exploding BOINC bouncing around the monitor with the message \"screen saver loading\". That then becomes \"BOINC is not running. Please launch BOINC to display graphics.\" Requests from within the programs to display the graphics on a small window are successful--Fouriers in one case and rotating globe in the other. Seems like the screen saver lacks access to the data being generated. Does my Windows XP know how to talk to 4.45????

Hi, OldGuy, from another old guy,

This problem calls to mind earlier problems with some video cards. What is your video card and does it have the latest driver?
