When I set BOINC as screensaver, the screen goes black and will not return with keystroke or mouse. I have to use the "start" button on my keyboard to get to the "restart" command. The rest of the screen remains black during this process. I do not use password on resume, I'm running XP on a newer HP computer with upgraded graphics. BOINC screensaver on my 6 year old Gateway work just fine.
What gives?

I found a similar problem on my new Pentium D PC. I have stopped using the boinc screensaver because I found somewhere that the 5.2.x manager and some older clients have problems with the screensaver so I am waiting for 5.4.x to test and see if its fixed. In the mean time I use the Windows XP screensaver with password on resume.
