I also run Seti@home and my opperating system is Windows XP Steve ID: 5753 ·

Does this happen when you suspend BOINC (not Bionic, look around the page here and see how many times it says BOINC ;)), or what, when? If it's after you exited BOINC, I'd suspect it's a heat issue. Clean the inside of your PC, clean the fans out, the CPU heatsink and all of that. ID: 5754 ·

Bionic..what a muppet I am ;o) , I have a 1GB pentium with 512 MB ram and 40GB hard drive...Will clean the CPU Fan and see if that does the trick and yes, the screen wave/drag is when I exit the screen saver, and it doesn't seem to matter how long the saver has been running, it always causes the problem.

I mean, the videocard, does it sit in an AGP/PCI slot or is it a chip on the motherboard? What if you don't run the screen saver? Does it still portray this behaviour then? ID: 5775 ·

Right-click on the background, select the 'screensaver' tab, then click on 'settings' next to the combo box containing the current screensaver. Click 'display settings', and make sure that the resolution and colour depth is the same as you usually have set up for your screen. ID: 5796 ·
