E@H seems to be working, however, the only screen saver that showed up was a BOINC blank screen. What am I doing wrong or how do I get the screen saver for E@H?

I found the solution. To display the screen saver on demand, click the work tab, highlight a running project, right click it, and select "show graphics. To set the screensaver as your default, right click anywhere on your desktop, click properties, then select BOINC from the dropdown list of screensavers. Set how long you want windows to wait before the screensaver comes on.

The screensaver is OpenGL, so make sure your videocard has OpenGL drivers and support.

If 4.25 is installed as a

If 4.25 is installed as a service it must be changed to the local system account and interaction with the desktop allowed for the graphics to show.

With these settings I have had graphics from all projects, some of them will even work on the login screensaver.
