Screensaver not on occasionally with BOINC?

Hi All,

Every night when I go to bed i have a look at my PC and confirm that the BOINC screensaver is running with no problem. When I get up in the morning and look, i have no screensaver running - just my windows desktop... The screensaver seems to be turning off - any suggestions?

Re: Screensaver not on occasionally with BOINC?

There was a report of a memory leak fixed in the latest 6.2.25 beta. You might want to try that and let us know how it works out and post your findings in this thread:

The invitation and where to get the test version is here:

Re: Screensaver not on occasionally with BOINC?

You are aware that the screensaver can be set to go blank after X minutes? Did you set that accidentally (Windows Desktop Control Applet, Screensaver Options)

[doubt though it's the case as you write to see the desktop itself and not a blank screen. Is the password set?]
