First let me say that I love the visual aspect of SETI@home! Is there a way to stop that axis-rotation effect and just display the work statically? I used to run the classic version and my FPS was smooth (>15). Now I get about 3-5 FPS on the screensaver. Can I modify the settings or, can I revert to an older version while processing the same amount of data? Currenly running boinc_6.10.18_windows_intelx86. Thanks! and congrats!

Just an FYI, the screensaver while pretty isn't necessary. also it will slow your WU processing down just a bit. In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

If you "used to run the classic version" you can "Claim your SETI@home Classic workunits". If you do so you will be shown as SETI@home participant since "old" times (since somewhere between 1999-2006 and not 2010) Look the links: Instructions for SETI@home Classic users: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/sah_classic.php Claim your SETI@home Classic workunits: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/sah_classic_link.php .

Thanks for the links guys! That covers all my issues! If seti@home.scr impedes WU processing, does it not stand to reason that the same holds true for the Einstein.scr? |

Thanks for the links guys! That covers all my issues! In your SETI@home preferences: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/prefs.php?subset=project you can set Maximum CPU % for graphics (mine is set to 10) Also set the BOINC ScreenSaver to go blank after 5 minutes - if you like to look at it and forget to close it (move the mouse) it will go to black screen after 5 minutes. (You don't need to run the BOINC ScreenSaver to make the computations) . Â - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) Â |
