What happened to the seti graphics? All I have is a BOINC sign...

Screensavers are supplied by the projects. The Boinc default screensaver is shown when you are crunching a WU from a project that doesn't have a screensaver or Boinc is not crunching.

I believe this may also occurs if the Boinc manager is not connected to the localhost (see bottom right of Boinc manager) - not sure about this part.

Boinc V7.2.42
Win7 i5 3.33G 4GB, GTX470

It does this also, if installed as a Service, I believe.

It seems that if you have it installed as a service there's more that you need to do for the graphics to work. I found this page to do it for me:

I have the same "problem"
The show graphics button is greyed out.
BOINC is not installed as a service, and is connected to local host.
The graphics used to work, but stopped a couple of weeks ago.
Around the same time, I installed Simon Zadra's optimised app, which has doubled my rig's crunching speed. I can't tell if the optimised app has caused the change.

The optimized applications don't have links to the graphics libraries. That's one of the things why they are so quick. This is widely documented.

OK... thanks, Ageless. I do use the BOINC Wiiki, but I seem to have trouble finding what I need, and some stuff I just don't understand. I'll get used to it sometime I suppose. Meanwhile, no graphics is a small price to pay for achieving more crunching for the project. :)

Having no graphics would certainly leave extra processing power for crunching, and Simon's app doesn't seem to "cheat" by claiming falsely for credit, as previous app's have been accused of.
