Hi,
I searched the forum but couldn't find an answer. I'm having problems with the graphics/screensaver not showing. The BOINC screensaver itself is working and showing graphics for other projects but the nice purple star chart thingy from Einstein@home doesn't show. In BOINC Manager the "show graphics" button is also greyed out. A few weeks ago everything was working fine.
I'm using Win 10 with latest updates for both OS and GPU.
What can I do to identify and solve my problem? Thx for any help!

Thx for the insight!

I don't know of a list for what app have graphics or not but the rule of thumb is that GPU applications normally don't have any graphics.

The profile picture is not shown in the forums as you have noticed.
Wow, awesome! Thx for your

Wow, awesome! Thx for your great help, I really appreciate!
Also came up with the idea that if the visual Einstein@home is so important to me that I could deselect the GPU-WUs in project settings.
Thx again, Nelson
