I just installed BOINC and now, when the screen saver kicks in I get the following error displayed on my screen.

Secure Windows Desktop detected

This platform not supported

The only type of messages I'm getting are the following:

SETI@home - 2004-08-23 19:21:20 - Requesting 85689 seconds of work
SETI@home - 2004-08-23 19:21:20 - Sending request to scheduler: http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi

SETI@home - 2004-08-23 19:21:23 - Deferring communication with project for 2 hours, 12 minutes, and 49 seconds

Any help would be appreciated.

1. Screensaver.
To resolve the problem you need to disable the Windows Welcome screen in the screensaver settings.
If you have a problem, you can use the "Keyword search" available at the top of the "Questions and problems" webpage. Searching for "Secure Windows Desktop" would give you this result.

2. No work from project.
There is indeed no WU's that can be downloaded. You will have to need some patient in order to get fresh WU's.

Hope this helped.

Are there any plans to support a secure windows desktop? I've got domain admin access and cannot leave my system unlocked!

I believe that this is on th ebug list someplace, but very low priority. But then again, I am not certain.
