We are still trying to track down this issue, if you could could you list your graphics card, driver version, os version, BOINC version, and project application version.

Thanks in advance.

Some problems, but I don't think they caused by my card. Nevertheless,

Win XP Pro SP2
ATI Radeon 9600XT AGP(8x) 128DDR Memory, latest drivers, latest stable BOINC Version (4.25).
Running SETI (4.09), Einstein (4.79) and ProteinPredictor (4.24, had no graphics).
Set at 1152x864 res.

I did have the SETI graphics, and the whole BOINC program, freeze one time. Had to restart the computer, but I believe that was with an older version of BOINC. I often get errors saying Einstein failed to read from some memory address, but I know my RAM isn't the problem so I don't know what is with that.

The only other problem I get is the screensavor will pop up a box saying BOINC is still idle even though it should be running. I have to set BOINC to run all the time in order to get the graphics to display at all.

SETI graphic and screensaver work fine. Einstein does not work, screen saver is blank and clicking on Show Graphic does nothing at all.

Minor problems here:
I _do_ get graphics, but they can appear slightly corrupted sometimes. It usually happens when displaying the graphics of a new work unit for the first time. First, the floating "bar box" fills up with wide bars, no problem, but then in the next fill/run as it ought to display narrow bars, instead it displays lots of overlapping wide bars that consequently spill out of the box on the right side.
Also, the background stars sometimes take a couple of seconds to appear.

BOINC: 4.25
Graphics card: ATI Radeon 9550
Graphics driver: 6.14.10.6512
CPU: Athlon64 2800+ (1809MHz)
OS: Win2k SP4, up to date
