For quite some time, I have not been able to see the SETI graphics display in my BOINC. The program runs, but "the "Show graphics" button is grayed out. How can I get it to display again? I am able to see graphics from Rosetta@home.

Thank you

The graphics aren't available when crunching on your graphics card for SETI@home.

I'm not sure I understand your answer. When should I be able to see the graphics? I've been running SETI @home prior to its being made a part of BOINC, and there were always graphics available, even after it was made part of BOINC. Just trying to understand.

Your computer has an AMD graphics card. SETI@home has the ability to use your graphics card to crunch data. When SETI@home is using your graphics card to crunch data, there are no application graphics.

To further explain this, you solely run work on your AMD GPU. You run no work on the CPU.
Only the CPU application has a graphics application, and thus can show the graphics. The GPU application doesn't have the graphics application, and so it cannot.
