	I have loaded bonic and loaded the seti project but when it is screensaver mode it says,"Computing suspended because processer usage is high."

	Screen savers are often very processor intensive. There are two possible solutions First, don't use a screen saver but a blank screen Second, in the BOINC manager advanced/preferances select the processor usage tab and set "while processor is in use" box to something a lot higher than the default 25% - I use 75%, others may well suggest a different value, and you may need to give it a few tries to get it to a level that you can live with. ____________ Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe?

	if you don't mind having seti run in the background while you are doing stuff on your computer just set the % to "0" and it will just run fine. also note that your GPU shouldn't be used for GPU processing of MB task and can only use the Brooks hybrid app if you decide to run Astropulse WU's. The screen saver shouldn't be used if you are intending to use the GPU for processing work ____________ Proud member of TSWB. End terrorism by building a school
