Please help. I've waited for some work units to be done with the manager, but the screen saver is just blank and seems to process no work.
No pretty graphic!

However, the Boinc manager works fine.

1. Operating system? Mac OSX 10.4.11 on G5
2. BOINC version? 5.10.45
3. Which project? SETI@HOME or any other.
4. Video card/drivers situation? NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL
5. Is it on a desktop/laptop/other? Desktop

I hope this is enough info to get an answer.
Thanks

I did have it under another name but is now just "VieHie". In my SETI account page it says:
Total credit 357
Recent average credit 24.68
So, I think that means there is work being processed?
In Addition, the manager says it has connected and processed units as far as I can tell.

Thanks.

I upgraded all my systems to 5.10.30 to possibly solve a problem running multiple copies of E@H. While it seems to fix the problem on 2 or 3 systems, another issue has occurred. When it switched to the screen saver, I don't get the cool graphics any more. Instead, I get the BOINC logo and a "Running Research for ..." with some stats. Then moved to 5.10.45 and I have the same problem. I worked before and when I select graphics on the task in the Manager it looks fine, so this issue is not my DirectX or OpenGL or anything, it just doesn't start on the screen saver.

1. Operating system? XP SP2
2. BOINC version? 5.10.45
3. Which project? All, Seti, Einstein, Rosetta, WCG
4. Video card/drivers situation? Various
5. Is it on a desktop/laptop/other? IBM ThinkPAD, IBM NetVista, ...

Did you install BOINC as a service?
