You run work mostly on your two graphics processing units (GPUs). The powers that be around here have decided not to add the graphics application on to the GPU applications, so any work run on the GPU does not have graphics which means they do not have the Seti screen saver.

I see you also run work on the CPU, and that's when you'll see the graphics/screen saver. The CPU application does have a graphics application.

The rest of the time you should only see the built-in BOINC screen saver, but this may take a while to show up, and is dependent on the http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/BOINC_screensaver#Screensaver_Settings you have set.

Now, I don't know what you mean with I fixed once by reinstalling new copy in new dir name. New copy of what? BOINC?
