BOINC screen saver flickers — at Initial Version

Reported by: Ageless Owned by: romw
Priority: Major Milestone: Undetermined
Component: Client - Screen Saver Version: 7.2.39
Keywords: screen saver Cc:

Description

As has been reported through ​https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=8915 at first, when upgrading from an older BOINC version to 7.2.39 or when doing a clean install of 7.2.39, the screen saver will flicker.

What we actually see is that the screen saver starts normally, then it'll start to switch between the Boincscr.exe and Boinc.scr screens in rapid fashion.
