Screensaver is not exactly the best word used here. It is a screen display, using the screensaver properties of the OS. My movie https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/502242 |

thx for your help so far... Seti personel page is here http://boinc.berkeley.edu/contact.php Although they have in the past stated that the "screen saver" is NOT a screen saver in the truest sense of the word, it is a graphical image of the what the cpu is doing. In Classic the "screen saver" did not move around, the new one in Boinc does at least move around, but is still not a true "screen saver". |

thx for your help so far... Why? Do you plan on yelling at them and insisting they pay for your monitor? Unforunately, they're covered (see Ageless's post above). |

no...i don´t want to get hysteric! ;) This is exactly what they'll say (please focus your attention to the section entitled "Liability"): Run SETI@home only on authorized computers |

thx for your help so far... I'm not with seti management, but have you tried to degause your monitor and then demagintize the screen once? Just like TV screens, this normally will clean them on the inside. Hope this info helps you with this problem. Pat |
