Got a question that Boinc message boards cannot answer, what happened to Boinc's ability to show SETI@HOME graphics? I"ve been crunching SETI for over a decade and was able to all that time, I had problems with my BOINC software, deleted it, reinstalled it and found that it will not show graphics. my BOINC version is 7.12.1.
thanks for any insight,
Arkynut

This was posted on the BOINC forum but you did not comment
If you are running SETI's optimised applications then there are no graphics, also most (all?) of their more recent GPU applications don't have graphics either.
I can't comment on other projects.


Are you running GPU units? Are you using the optimised applications?

With your computer hidden you will need to supply a few more details.

I see graphics running stock apps on my 7.14,2 BOINC on a Windows 10 PC.
I notice that the Arecibo data are recent.

Its like Bernie mentioned, only stock CPU apps will show graphics.
Since all GPU apps available are optimized ones, no graphics with any GPU application.

Is the first line part of the quote here, Bernie?

Stock Windows cpu apps seem to all display the Seti graphics screen savers (at least on my Windows box running stock apps).
