it was a great run. i can't tell you how many people have asked me about my "cool screensaver" over the years, and how it led to countless in-depth conversations about ET and the universe as we know it. best of luck with your analyses, and I hope to crunch some data for the project again soon.

Flashing on and off and on and off (not the problem where it flashes on for a couple of seconds and then off for hours) is now an acknowledged bug. Dr. A. has implemented a fix that will be out in a future release (possibly 5.8.10 or 5.8.11).


Thanks to everyone for the advice. I haven't had time to look into it but the problem seems to have ceased.

Hello all

I'm having an issue with the SETI screen saver. When the screen saver comes on for SETI, it will work for about 5 seconds (work as in the graphics are displayed) and then the screen will go blank for 2-3 seconds and the process repeats.

I've also tried checking the box to go to blank screen under the screen saver options and I still have the same issue.

I recently installed Vista Ultimate and I am not sure if this is an issue with the OS. I did not have this issue with XP Professional.

Please advise. Thank you.
