Hello

I just downloaded everything related to Seti. The BOINC manager is running fine and when I click show graphics in the Work tab the graphics show.

However when i try to set my screensaver to BOINC I get an error message: "Can't Load Screensaver. You cannot use the screen saver BOINCSaver on this computer. Contact the developer of this software for a newer version."

Does anyone know what I need to do to get the screensaver working.

Thanks for your time.

Does this only happens if you make a preview at the MacOS system preferences or also if the screensaver starting after the setup screensaver time ?
