Hi Richard

Not aware of having Astropulse so I assume its the normal one. The system appears ok at the moment with the process running in background while I work. I've turned off the screen saver, reset preferences to default, then set max cpu to 70% and rebooted. The log shows its been doing analysis and upload/download ok for around 24 hours so I think I'll leave the screensaver off and not worry. Thanks.

What sort of SETI task is running on your desktop? SETI has two at the moment - MB (short), and Astropulse (very long). There has been a reported bug in Astropulse "whereby the Astropulse screensaver would sometimes freeze": a new version designed to fix this is in the final stages of Beta testing.[/quote]

Hi

I've had boinc in various versions over the past couple of years on my notebook working fine.

I just installed the latest version 6.2.19 on both my notebook and my desktop system. Both running Windows XP current SP & patches.

The notebook is working as normal. Screensaver when I am idle and goes away when I move the mouse or hit a key.

My desktop is not so lucky and I am seeing the screensaver come up and not go away. The system hangs or goes into a loopy loop and I wait 10 minutes with it locked and then reset the system. have tried different preference settings including comparing all with my notebook but they seem ok.

Video card is a Radeon 9200 SE.

Boinc detects the following:
