It's possible your home computer has not enough graphic power.... need 800x600 minimum. I'm not sure how the UD agent installs, but i had to copy the HCMD "ud_1582754.scr" file from the C:\Program Files\World Community Grid\ directory to the Windows directory. After that, had to open the Windows Display Control Panel (right click on desktop), screensaver and pick World Community Grid. If you do that, a little window should show the WCG logo bouncing. If you hit preview and not move the mouse, after 5-10 you should see the graphics.

Let us know if that works.

cheers

PS, there is a little confusion but we run Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy, not Multiple Sclerosis. Both effect though the motoric system very badly.

Ordinarily, the WCG logo only bounces around when the science application is not running. The science application generates the information used to display graphics on the screensaver. Bring up the UD view (click on systray) and look at the Application View. Does it show graphics? Is the progress bar incrementing? If so, something is preventing the screen saver from getting the information. Do you have an anti-virus program that might be suspiciously blocking inter-process communications?

Added: Uhh. . . For testing, change it to run always, not just in screensaver mode.

I took the easy way out. I tried reinstalling it, but the problem still persisted. The task is running and there are graphics in the application window, just nothing during the screensaver.
Instead I installed BOINC and I can see the graphics. I was actually glad to see that BOINC can run a bunch of different research tasks at once, and I can switch between the graphics. I had no idea that was the difference between that and WCG.
Thanks for everyones help!

I wonder where there's a project in WCG regarding study in Multiple Sclerosis?
