I think I may have identified my particular problem (although not solved it) - This BOINC is busy crunching CPDN data just now, but only v5 projects. I've read elsewhere that there is an issue with CPDN not displaying graphics for these in v6, so perhaps this is what's going on? |

It may be a problem with the video driver try updating them. On the other hand the ATI chipset is still problematic as far I know. As I mentioned in my first post, I have an NVIDIA card, running the latest update. |

Yes, I think I understand the FAQ and the issues with v6 and graphics. Some projects have not yet updated to v6 and so may not show graphics. However, on my other two machines (one is running XP SP3/BOINC 2.6.14; the laptop is running Vista Home premium/BOINC 6.2.18), both are showing graphics for SETI and Einstein. Other projects show BOINC logo and 'Computing for...' project details when running. This machine, running XP SP3/BOINC 6.2.18, is not showing graphics for any project, and the BOINC logo only appears when it is starting up, then the screen goes blank. I have just uninstalled and reinstalled as standard (protected), but no change. Surely I should at least see graphics for SETI and Einstein as I do on the other two machines? |

I'm experiencing the same loss of graphics since I updated to 6.2.18. It's an AMD Athlon 64 with NVIDIA GEForce 7800GT running XP SP3 (although it was the same on SP2). I have the latest graphic drivers installed. I see the 'BOINC screensaver loading' message when the screensaver kicks in, but no project graphics. I run SETI, Rosetta, Einstein, Climateprediction, Malaria Control, QMC, LHC and Spinhenge. It seems to be fine on the other two machines on my network (both AMD/NVIDIA set ups), so I don't know what's going on...! Grum  |
