My computer keeps locking up when I try to use it; the only way I can get the screen clear is to reboot; any ideas as to what is going on? I am using ver 5.3.31. I have stopped using Bonic until this gets fixed..

Go to this thread. Substitute the '5.3.26' to '5.3.31' in the message. You may wish to use the recommended stable 5.2.13 version.

If you're a windows user, make sure boinc.scr is listed under "internet access" of your firewall. It needs comms to work. When I install a new version of boinc, i'm prompted twice by mcafee, once for boinc.mgr, and once for boinc.exe. Then I have to go to "start" "control panel", then "display", then click on the "screensaver" tab. Once I click screensaver, then mcafee prompts me for boinc.scr access.

When I insall BOINC I specify that I dont want it as the default screen saver as it has problems with Password on exit of the screensaver on an NT based machine. I dont know about 5.4.x though, can anyone say?

Rom has worked on several screensaver issues between 5.4.0 and 5.4.3
