21) Questions and Answers : Windows : Screen saver (Message 538274) Posted 29 Mar 2007 by Italy98 Post: Hello Mikey, Thank you for your response and question. I have a NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200 video card. The screensaver has been working since I started running Seti@Home and it is only recently that the screensaver has stopped loading. The program is working as designed but it is just annoying that the screensaver has gone on vacation without notice . . . Thanks again
22) Questions and Answers : Windows : Screen saver (Message 538075) Posted 29 Mar 2007 by Italy98 Post: Greetings, I just upgraded to BOINC 5.8.15 as the screen saver stopped displaying the graph and related data. I have a black screen with the message 'BOINC screensaver loading'. In checking previous posts I can tell you that I am the only user so I do not have a password invoked nor have I altered the original BOINC settings. This issue happens when I turn the computer on or leave the computer after using it for a period of time. Ideas or suggestions? Thank you
23) Questions and Answers : Windows : Seti keeps saying communication deffered (Message 285597) Posted 20 Apr 2006 by Italy98 Post: Hello Ageless, No, I am not the originator of this thread. I was out of town for two days and came home to find BOINC was not updating as normal. I've checked my firewall (ZoneAlarm) and BOINC client, Manager for WIndows, screensaver and _gui stll have access to the Internet. Other suggestions? Thank you, George Are you the same person as Owner who started this thread? If not, you may have a problem with your firewall. Make sure that BOINC (Boinc.exe) is allowed through your firewall on TCP port 80 and 443. (If your Windows updated lately, it made some updates to IE and your firewall. Make sure BOINC (Boinc.exe and Boincmgr.exe) is still in the allowed section.

I have continually be processing work so I don't understand why the down turn in results . . . Thanks again, George RAC means zilch, it basically measures the amount of work that is validated in a set period, based on some formula, But I could be wrong ;o( Excerpts from the WIKI; Recent Average Credit (5725 bytes) 3: The current running average of credit earned by each [[Host\| Computer]], [[Participant]... 7: ...oday having more weight in the average than the [[Credit]] granted in the past; each day farther back the ... 9: ... the value does not jump up and down as [[Granted Credit]] events occur. 11: ...dit]] is granted for a week, the [[Recent Average Credit]] is reduced by half anyway. 13: ...cing credits does not reduce the [[Recent Average Credit]], but rather will increase it from what it would... Credit take 3 for a quorum, 2 then must pass validation and then credit can be granted, this process can take from a few hours {rarely} to 2 weeks or worst case a month or more.....

My problem is the results, instead of gradually increasing from lower left to upper right ( / ), are decreasing from upper left to lower right ( \\ ). Regards, George
27) Questions and Answers : Windows : Statistics drop (Message 249391) Posted 17 Feb 2006 by Italy98 Post: Looking at my stats this morning I find that instead of the steady increase my stats look like a penny stock - going on a bumpy downhill run from 136 to 94 over 31 days. The project tab reflects 26162.76 total credits. What happened? I would gladly include a screen capture but don't know how to attach. Thank you
