Re: Screen saver not working

Do other screensavers work properly?

Re: Screen saver not working

You probably jogged your mouse, causing the working screen to reappear!

Re: Screen saver not working

shrustogi,

there are several FAQ's in the thread link below discussing the configuration and some checks you can perform. Further down is a tip on the Screensaver CPU use, works only for WCG and BOINC version 6.2.28 (that latter I'm not sure about if it would work for the earlier 6.2.19 version many seem to have)

ciao
