Description
Hi,
My OS is Vista 64 ultimate and i have a NVIDIA 8800GTS vga card. I use the latest version of BOINC 64 bits. I run seti@home and worldcommunitygrid projects. In the simple view of BOINC it tells me that running BOINC applications are graphics enabled and when i click on the picture i have a windowed 3D view (both projects) but when the screensaver launch i have only the BOINC logo and the status of calculation of each BOINC application cycling.
Any ideas why the screensaver does not work properly ?
Thanks.

I am running BOINC 5.10.45 on Vista 32 and I am getting the same results from the screensaver, just a BOINC logo with the percentage of completion. I've tried both SETI@home and Rosetta@home with the same results. I can see the graphics by clicking the show graphics button in the BOINC manager, but not in the screensaver.

It's not supposed to work on Vista. It has been a known problem since Vista betas started to appear.
It will be fixed in BOINC 6.
