running sulphur experiment, BOINC 5.2.7 on windows xp. I can allow the screensaver to kick in and it works. however, if I stop the screensaver, the next time it kicks in, I only the the generic boinc logo and %complete not the beautiful planet view. This also happens if I do the \"show graphics\" option. it worked once then the second time the \"show graphics\" button is grayed out. I am running multiple projects, but CPDN is the one running.

any ideas?

Are you running BOINC as a service? If so you\'ll have to change it to login using the Local System account and allow interaction with the desktop. Full instructions are in the BOINC Wiki.
