I´m running climateprotection and Seti on the same machine. Both take 50% of time. Unlikely sometimes in the morning my computer will show me a frozen screen of climateprotection which forces me to reboot/reset my PC.
It is not possible to reboot using keyboard or stop the visualisation of climateprotection.net.
After reboot, BOINC shows me SETI as active, climateprotection as displaced. I think climateprotection freezes the screen during the night at this time when SETI displaces it.
Is it possible to disable climateprotection Screensaver-function without disable climateprotection too??

On a desktop, via it\'s properties, go to screensave tab and choose None (or Blank screen).
It seems that you set BOINC as a default screen-saver during installation process.

thanks for your fast reaction.

Sorry, i think i didn´t expressed myself correctly.
I don´t like to disable the BOINC-Screensaver complete, i only like to disable Climateprediction.net part of it if the error isn´t repairable by another way.
This night, my computer didn´t switch to Seti (because Seti is down, could nt be contacted) and i was able to revoke my computer frm running Climateprediction.net-screensaver (we can deduce, therefore, that the sitch from one project to another during screensaver-session seems to be the killer.

(did i say protection before? what a joke *rofl* and how to protect against clima??)
