Topic 188486

I have installed the new version of Boinc 4.25 and 4.26. 4.26 is the one that is now installed on my PC. When I try to run the screen saver I get a red box with the message "Boinc Screensaver is loading Please Wait ..." It takes a few seconds this goes away and the all I get is a black screen. No the Black screen option is not selected. The screen saver worked fine in version 4.19. Any suggestions?

I installed 4.25 both on my

I installed 4.25 both on my home PC and the notebook. The screansaver works fine on the latter but it just doesn't work on my PC (neither the graphics starts if I click on "Show graphics"). I have a Sapphire Radeon 9600 in my PC and Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME in the notebook (centrino technology). My guess is that it matters. What's yours guys?

This is a known problem,

This is a known problem, although Rom can't duplicate the problem on his machines, so fixing it might take some time.

The problem is with BOINC, not E@H.

Is there any system information that we can supply that might help isolate the problem? Is it limited to one OS or is it across platforms?
