I been wasting alot of time with E@H do to the fact that when the screensaver starts the project stops working.

I had my desktop going for 12 hours thinking it was done I turned on the screen to find that only 41 CPU mins of work was done. Seems when the screensaver started the project stopped working!!!

If you don't want to disable the screensaver, I've heard that some people solved this problem by changing their "Do work while computer is in use" preference to "yes"; only intensive gaming or real-time processes are likely to suffer from having BOINC apps run in the background. If you have only one system that's misbehaving, you could assign it to a separate "venue" or, if you're using BOINC Manager, just choose the "Run always" menu command.
