Boinc is giving me an error saying secure windows desktop is incompatible. Is this because I have my firewall turned on? I am running Windows Xp Pro on a P4 2.4Ghz.

Ok, found the answer that others are having. It does not support have the require password to disable screen saver. Now I just need some work units, what gives!?!?

Do you mean SETI graphics as a screensaver? I would say: don't even waste the CPU time running that. Let the SETI client use the whole system for crunching without any graphics.

If you mean a WinXP screensaver, I would say: don't use that either. Set it to just a black screen so it doesn't waste your CPU time.

Now, if even the black screen causes these problems, then I have no useful input to offer. :)
