Just choose BOINC as your screen saver in the display properties.

You could install 5.8.16 on top of your existing installation?

Either a repair install of the current version or an over the top install of the current release.


What version of BOINC was it?

try dumping the boinc.scr file back into c:\windows. You should be able to extract the file from the BOINC download...
