Your results also indicate "Client error Computing" problems. I suggest you look into using the Beta Test Application. Check the Einstein@Home Beta Test link under More Information on the E@H home page (lower left corner).

As Sharky T indicated the Beta App fixes the known graphics problems. Why don't you try it - if it doesn't work for you, you can help the developers find and fix the problem before this Beta goes "official". You can find the Beta at the link Sharky T provided or under More Information on the E@H home page. Also, this thread is for Beta App discussion: Message boards : Cafe Einstein : NEW: WINDOWS TEST APPLICATION FOR EINSTEIN@HOME.

Usually threads are from top down, not down up. Kinda threw me off :P
