I'm new to rosetta@home - a refugee from Find-a-drug! I have set it up on 2 machines so far (my other 2 machines don't have enough RAM) Working OK on both, but on the laptop it sometimes locks up with the message Downloading BOINC screen saver. I have a Zone Alarm warning panel, but can't use the mouse pointer or anything else. Can only unlock things using Ctrl+Alt+Del.
I don't particularly want a BOINC screensaver, but guess I may have ticked this box during setup. Problem is, I can't find it anywhere to change my preferences. Can someone please point me in the right direction

The BOINC screensaver is just a windows screensaver.

Right click on your desktop, select 'Screen Saver' tab and select your preferred screen saver from the drop down list.

Not entirely sure that that's your problem though....

Oops, I forgot...Welcome to BOINC. ;-)
