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.

This has run fine like this for 5 years.

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

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.

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.

Regards
