Hello, I keep getting a Microsoft Windows pop-up that says, "Boinc screensaver has stopped working."
"A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available"...Yet the program never stops and seems to be running fine. Has anyone ever heard of this? I click the "close program" button and Boinc just keeps running.

Never seen it before. Yet the new screen saver runs with the BOINCSCR.exe program.

Can you check in your Event Viewer what program stops running?

Could you look to see if there is anything in a stderr*.txt file?

I have this problem.
My stderrgfx.txt looks like this:

17:13:37 (5520): Starting graphics application.
17:13:37 (5520): fullscreen mode requested.
Successfully loaded './Helvetica.txf'...
Successfully loaded 'boinc_logo_black.jpg'.
texfont: tried to access unavailable font character " " (-10)
texfont: tried to access unavailable font character " " (-10)
texfont: tried to access unavailable font character " " (-10)
texfont: tried to access unavailable font character " " (-10)
(...)

Any clue what I have to do to fix this?
