How can I get E@home screensaver back..It worked and suddenly disappeared..I currently run two BOINC projects namely,Einstien@home and Milkyway@home
I go way back in computing ie. Win 98 where screensavers were necessary to avoid burn in on old CRT monitors..Now, I just LIKE screensavers..Please do an old fool (70 yrs old) a favor..Thanks...Hohn

E@home screensaver

Your BOINC needs to actually be running an Einstein task for the screen saver to show. If your BOINC is running only Milkyway tasks at this time, it won't show the Einstein graphics or screen saver.

The project screen savers, wherever applicable, only show when work for those projects is actually being crunched, not when they're paused or when there's no work for any such project in your BOINC cache.
