Message 923900 - Posted: 5 Aug 2009, 22:12:22 UTC

I have seti@home along with other similar programs and I have typed my name in the account, but in the screensaver and when I go over the icon of a perticular program (eg Seti@home)in boinc manager it doesn't show my name but only user info: USER (and not my actual name) but it does show when I enter my account. So How do I get it it show in the screensaver?
thanks

After you changed this on the website and saved things there, did you let BOINC recommunicate with the Seti web site? If you didn't, it won't know about your changes until it next contacts Seti (for getting work or to report work).

If you can't wait, go BOINC Manager->Advanced view->Projects tab->Select Seti->Click Update on the menu on the left.

The delay would be because the BOINC client had not communicated with the project.
