The screensaver loads and runs normally, but it only has the BOINC logo and a completion percentage. I'd really like graphics! Asking the running program for graphics works fine.

Windows XP, lots of CPU, RAM, etc.

Have similar problem, but only on 1 computer. Several other computers in my account (almost identical down to the same monitor) display graphics during screensaver just fine. Am similarly baffled by why it doesn't display on just this one computer.

jps :)

Check the application version of the active Rosetta task(s). I believe the screensaver change is when a "mini" task is active. They are planning to enhance the graphics.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you want me to do here.

My point is that there are *no* graphics in screensaver mode; just a completion percentage and the BOINC logo.
