I'm getting an error message saying that Project does not support screensaver graphics. After seeing this I updated to latest SETI software for Mac, but I still get the error. Is there no longer a screensaver ?

I'm getting the exact same thing. The Einstein project works fine.

I'm having the same issue. I also refreshed BOINC and reconnected to the project but the error continues.

Moi, aussi. I shut down my BOINC, shut down my 10.4.10 MacOS, re-booted, and now my BOINC/SETI messages file is full of:

Seeing the same thing here on multiple machines. Is it a problem with the Seti servers? It happened all of a sudden a couple of days ago. I haven't tried to troubleshoot it yet.

After posting that extract of error message logging, I got to thinking. I did a Software Update about two days ago, not long before the problem appeared. And one of the things that MacOS wanted to update was QuickTime. I wonder if Apple moved some entrypoints around or dropped some "obsolete" ones that BOINC/SETI were using?
