1) Message boards : Questions and problems : full-screen project graphics outside screensave (Message 37039) Posted 1 Mar 2011 by mike1127 Post: Hmm, I tried that but a few problems. Because I have it set to run only when idle, when I first launched the graphics there was a note on the graphic screen saying something along the lines of "task not running... exiting in 5 seconds..." So that window went away 5 seconds later, apparently before the task had time to start. Then I set BOINC to allow running when the computer is not idle and tried to launch the graphics again. The graphics button was on the BOINC task page for the specific task I selected, and let me click on it, but no graphics window came up. I tried other tasks. No window ever came up. I seem to have put it in a bad state. So what I want to do is set it run when idle, and also launch the graphics window when it is running. In other words this is exactly what a screensaver does, but I can't run screensavers on this computer, because I watch movies and TV on it. Probably not possible.

I don't like to run screensavers because I watch movies on my computer. Also I only run projects when idle. I wish there was some way to turn on graphics at the moment that I stop working, without needing the screensaver.
