You will have to select a running task before the "Show graphics" button is enabled. This will only happen on projects that actually have their own screen saver/graphics program. It will not happen on mosts tasks running on a GPU, as normally no project sends a graphics application along with a CUDA application. The Einstein project is an exception to this rule. |

After update to latest build of SETI, Show Graphics is now greyed out. Even if I click on the active task(s) it remains greyed out. |

Which project and what sort of task? Does that project have a screen saver/graphics app? Is the project actually running -- not suspended (due to whatever, time of day for instance)? |

Developers might want to consider to end this greying when there's no project graphics and instead than offer the standard BOINC SS progress info screen. --//-- |

That problem seems to arise more often now. See also here. I only see my graphics option disabled throughout the day, when my projects are suspended due to time of day . I only allow BOINC to run throughout the night, at lower energy rates. When I set BOINC to run always, the graphics button activates immediately on any of the tasks I check. Back to run based on preferences and the button grays out. Normal, I'd think. |

Power of pictures: Nothing selected --> Show graphics is grayed out: Something selected --> Show graphics is enabled: |

OK, this has now been recognized by the developers as a now-you-see-it-now-you-don't bug. This means that they will take a look at it, but cannot give a time frame as to when this will be fixed, as it doesn't always happen. |
