I just set up a new PC and am having issues with the screen saver flickering back and forth once it comes on.

I am running windows 7 pro with dual monitors and dual NVIDIA GeForce 760 video cards with SLI enabled. I am running only running the SETI@home project. I have tried with two versions of the drivers for the video cards with the same results. Any suggestions? If you need more information please let me know.

This is a known problem in the 7.2.42 screen saver. It crept in somewhere between 7.2.34 and 7.2.42, and has been fixed in the present development versions.

Until that time, your options are:
1. To return to the previous BOINC version, 7.2.33
2. Go forward to the latest development version, 7.4.12 (at the time of writing this)
3. Not use the screen saver.

- BOINC 7.2.33 for Windows, 32bit version
- BOINC 7.2.33for Windows, 64 bit version

- BOINC 7.4.12 for Windows, 32bit version
- BOINC 7.4.12 for Windows, 64bit version
