Hi all, Im not really that good with computers and i found this way to complicated. I could not even get the screen saver to do anymore than say "Bionic" with all this writting about processing files. The screenshots showed some very interesting screensavers but i cant get them to work. No idea what im doing wrong but this sort of thing needs to be simplier if u want non-tech heads to participate in these projects. I only came here because i wanted an interesting screen saver and to participate in something |

you haven't had any work nor any WU's so thats probably the best place to start. Seti has down time from tuesday until friday morning US-Pacific time. The BOINC screensaver won't do much without any actual work. You'll need to attach your Computer to the Seti project and then wait for work on Friday. You can set your Preferences to keep 4 days Work which should be enough to keep Work processing through the down times. IIRC the BOINC screensaver isnt the same as the seti screensaver. I dont use the screensaver because it actually slows the work down a bit. If you don't want to wait for work from seti and wish to crunch numbers just look up the BOINC projects some of the more popular you'll see in my Sig In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face.
