Hey everybody...

I have a question... I\'d chosen the \"Run as Service\" mode when I\'d installed BOINC on my computer.
So I decied to change the project from rosetta@home to climateprediction.net.

When I try to watch the screensaver there\'s just the logo an the text \"cannot display screensaver when running in service mode\" or something like that.

So where I can activate the screensaver, I want to watch, what my computer is doing the whole day ;-)

Thanks a lot for your answers...

Hi Oli,

Welcome to the climate projects :-) If you take a look at the \'Running the model\' readme, the \'installing as service\' link, you should find a description of how to enable the graphics.

However I\'d recommend not using the screensaver (use the \'show graphics\' button instead), for a couple of reasons - firstly, it uses a lot of CPU time which would otherwise go to the model, and secondly, increases the probability of a crash.

-Cheers,

Mike
