Hello niksutty! A little bit more information would be perhaps helpful for those who want to help: What OS? What kind of CPU? What graphic card? What Boinc version? What other projects running? What error messages? And perhaps a look in the Wiki will lead to an answer as well. Gruesse vom Saenger For questions about Boinc look in the BOINC-Wiki |

im running windows, With 4.45 the graphic card issue is no longer an issue, so it's irrelevant ;) As I run the optimized app. for Seti, I have no graphics at all with Seti, only the bouncing Boinc sign. But as I just tested the behavior of it while crunching Einstein, I detected a quite long waiting period for the vanishing of the blank screen (several seconds). I presume, that's because of the low CPU-usage of the saver, far lower than with classic. But I think, you have waited for it a bit. Sorry, I can't help you further. Perhaps try your luck as well in the windows thread. Gruesse vom Saenger For questions about Boinc look in the BOINC-Wiki |

I'm having the same problem (similar setup as niksutty) and don't know how he/she got it to finally show up. I also see the graphs when viewing graphics via the BOINC mgr and hen I preview the screensaver from within Display/Properties, I also get the graphics,but not when the screensaver kicks in. I just get a blank screen. Any help is appreciated! Hello niksutty! |

I dont know what i did, it just started working! try going into boinc, projects, click suspend, then click update a few times, then resume. it might work...? also if you go to your seti@home preferences you can adjust the graphic settings, try knocking em down a bit. i dont know wether this is what made mine start working, but its worth a try. Sorry, but i really don't know why it started working?!?!? Nik I'm having the same problem (similar setup as niksutty) and don't know how he/she got it to finally show up.
