I\'m using BOINC Manager 5.2.2., and I can\'t get the screensaver to work properly.

When it kicks in, I get the message I mentioned in the Title.

What setting am I missing?

Thank you.

I think the BOINC screensaver gets its image data from the model on which it\'s working, so the message means that the science program isn\'t running.
What message(s) have you gotten in the message tab of BOINC?

You can also have a look at Windows Task Manager (in XP, Ctrl+Alt+Delete), to see if you have a pair of BOINC programs running. If not, try a reboot; this sometimes helps.

If not, post again, and we\'ll have another think.
