Re: Windows 7 + WCG Screensaver = No monitor power save?

See this thread: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=4592 for more details.

I've tried the latest available video card drivers (and older versions as well).

I've tried 6.2.28, 6.10.17, 6.10.18 & 6.10.24...all exhibit the same symptoms.

Re: Windows 7 + WCG Screensaver = No monitor power save?

I am probably out of my league here technically. But, hey, just in case...

I finally went to power saving on my new Win7 machine's monitor. But, nothing happened. I still saw screen savers after an hour. Two hours. A day.

It took a couple fo days, but I decided maybe I needed to re-boot. That did the trick.

Re: Windows 7 + WCG Screensaver = No monitor power save?

marist_college,

today there was a note in the developers forum:
... Is this being worked on still?


A fix for this was added to BOINC 6.10.25, so the next recommended version will have it.
