confused Installed Windows 7 and BOINC screensaver now active [RESOLVED]

Where do I find the option not to run the WCG screensaver? I remember
unticking this option when I first installed BOINC but I've just installed Windows 7 and the WCG screensaver appears.

Within the Windows personalisation settings the screensaver is set to 'none'.

Thanks in advance for the pointer I can't find.


BOINC version 6.2.28

Hello Baywhale,
I set my Windows OS to use 'blank'. Windows is in charge of screensavers.

Thanks, Lawrence, it's fixed – I clicked on the 'Screen Saver' setting in Windows to look for 'blank' and found that despite saying 'none' in the Personalisation settings in the actual screensaver dialog box WCG had appeared so I changed it back to none.

Thanks again.
