The screensaver works fine however there doesn't seem to be a way to do the graphics independently of being a screensaver and to use the mouse and keyboard. When the graphics is running in screensaver, touching a key or the mouse terminates the screensaver and returns the screen to the desktop. Would be nice to have a start menu icon to access the graphics directly.

Already built in to Boinc. You have to click on a work unit and you should see show graphic. This is seen in advanced mode and not simple mode.

Show graphics is available in

Show graphics is available in both Simple View and Advanced View.
In Simple View you get to it by choosing the task to be an Einstein task, then clicking the Task Commands button. Show graphics is the first option available.

Ah thanks Jord. I don't use the normal Boinc client anymore so I have forgotten about that. I use the BoincTasks the visual BOINC interface http://www.efmer.eu/boinc/boinc_tasks/

Thanks much. I looked all

Thanks much. I looked all over to see how to do that. It must be on the website somewhere but I sure didn't run across it. Here the "show graphics" button is staring me in the face!
