It turns out that the Intel 82865G Graphics controller has recently (March 2005) had a driver upgrade.
I suggest having a look at this CPDN thread if you have this graphics controller and are having problems with BOINC not displaying graphics.
Although I've upgraded my driver and just gone to BIONC 4.32 I can't say for certain whether it'll fix my graphics / computation errors yet, although it sounds very promising...
I'm personally not going to switch graphics on until I've finished my latest long CPDN unit. This won't be for a few weeks. I don't want to risk losing the processing on that CPDN unit, if I'm wrong, but I'll be happy it to try graphics again when I'm near the start of a CPDN unit and won't lose much if it crashes.
Oh dear it's a tale of woe from me, I'm afraid. Factors that were nothing to do with BOINC appear to have crashed my CPDN unit on 75% and then trashed a series of following CPDN units. I had an unrelated app run out of control and screw up XP so badly overnight I had to power down in the morning. At which point I found CPDN calcs had been killed. I hate losing 75% of a CPDN unit - that's a LOT of processing. Oh well, I thought, at least I'll now be able to test out Einstein@Home graphics with my new driver for the Intel Card and version 4.42 of BOINC. The screen looked good but as soon as a screen saver started - crash! Two Einstein units trashed pretty quickly. So it's back to running with no graphics, a lost CPDN unit and my hopes that the graphics driver upgrade had fixed things evaporated in smoke....
Will graphics ever work on my machine without screwing up the science, I wonder? :(
I am using now 4.43, same issue as before, even a bit worser. Einstein crashes immediatly when display graphics, In screen saver mode the crash is prety fast also. No graphic display is working fine. Also to note that seti does not display any graphics in screen saver mode. It does it only in screensaver preview and in display mode.

Thanks for the input. I tried it, in the last couple of days I had one unit working out of 5. Changing the driver help a little, but there are still problems.

Maybe we sohuld go back to 4.19
