	What I'm running, Intel Q6600 2.2ghz, 4gb RAM, nvidia GeForce 260GTX 768mb. Windows 7 x64 BOINC v6.12.34 x64 Issue I can get the SETI@home graphics to work for either the screen saver or the windowed options. When the screen saver runs it just shows me the BOINC logo and some text telling me how far along the current task has come. I can't even run the windowed graphics. I go to the advanced view of BIONC, I select the SET@home project, then go to the "tasks" tab and select the running task but the "Show Graphics" button stays greyed out. Anyone able to help?

	I believe that you are using the GPU for processing, and it is therefore unavailable for the graphics window or screensaver. ____________ BOINC WIKI

	go to the "tasks" tab and select the running task but the "Show Graphics" button stays greyed out. You have to select CPU running task (SETI@home Enhanced v6.03) for [Show Graphics] to work. The GPU CUDA tasks can't Show Graphics as the app itself have no Graphics part. (CPU app have 2 .exe parts: setiathome_6.03_windows_intelx86.exe setigraphics_6.03_windows_intelx86.exe GPU CUDA app have only computing part (and NO 'setigraphics...__cuda...' part): setiathome_6.10_windows_intelx86__cuda_fermi.exe (or similar for 6.08 and 6.09 setiathome_6.08_windows_intelx86__cuda.exe setiathome_6.09_windows_intelx86__cuda23.exe ) You can see all the available app files here (at the two download servers): http://boinc2.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah/download_fanout/ http://208.68.240.13/sah/download_fanout/ http://208.68.240.18/sah/download_fanout/ If you see some of the: "Forbidden - You don't have permission to access /sah/download_fanout/ on this server." "The service is not available. Please try again later." "Could not connect to remote server" ... press F5 ) ____________ - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :)

	I don'know what you have tried to do, but all your tasks (39 of them) have been abandoned or aborted by you. If you let at least one task run, you'll see the graphics for it.

	Are those tasks still downloading? (Look at the Status column) If (at least) one task starts running, higlight it in the Tasks tab and then click "Show graphics". Gruß, Gundolf
