What is possible?

---

I am on the edge of a 3G broadband link area. I wish <ctrl><Shift>E did work but I get nothing in errorlog and with the loss of "messages" anyone without a reliable internet link has now found BOINC to be unusable.

I have reinstalled 6.10 as I cannot use the upgrade.

It also changes the screensaver settings and a friend has informed me he had to take the battery out of his laptop due to SS lockup. I cannot see why and it is not verified but I do that know v6.12 is not liked by many, I have not herad a single person say they like it!!

How so? Explain yourself further, please. How has BOINC changed so much when it comes to connecting to project servers? What's wrong with checking, for instance, in the Transfers tab if there's work trying to upload? Or are you saying that the increased back-offs are causing you trouble? If so what kind of trouble?

And what do you do that CTRL+SHIFT+E does not work? Which operating system do you use? Do you have BOINC Manager focused on screen when you do that, or is something else on the foreground? have you tried setting BOINC Manager to the front before pressing CTRL+SHIFT+E at the same time? Were you by chance pressing them after each other? What if you go the longer route of BOINC Manager->Advanced view->Advanced->Event Log?

It also changes the screensaver settings and a friend has informed me he had to take the battery out of his laptop due to SS lockup.

What settings have changed? Do you mean the config options? They are the same in 6.10. There have been changes to the screen saver code, yes, but those were mostly to how it exits and where it logs its logs to. Not to any preferences.

Sorry to say, but your friend should post for himself, if we're ever to figure his problem out. I can think of 10 things off the top of my head as to why a screen saver could crash a system and none of those comprise BOINC.
