Hi All

I  have recently been forced over to boinc like a lot of other people.

With Classic I had it set up to only run as a screensaver. To save time
showing graphics - I had the screen set to go blank.
Then it finished a work unit it would then request a internet connection.

just stick with it, once you figure out how the new system works it won't 
change for years

Could somebody please please please tell me how to set up boinc to do 
this.

i'm at work, i'm sure others can dig up good info for you

The boinc software is very confusing and I have no idea how to do this and 
do
not know what it is actually doing.

I am a software engineer and certainly no novice when it comes to 
software.

errrrrr ... !
anyway....

Reading this newsgroup suggests that a lot of people are having these 
probems.

I am about to give up and uninstall it which seems a pity after 5 years.

I have always been prepared to donate my pc's time when not in use but
will not allocate resources during the normal operation.

I donote cpu time even when my pc *is* in use, do i notice it? nope, nor 
should I
