1) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Screensaver Changed (Message 35025) Posted 17 Sep 2008 by old_user537370 Post: Hi again John Did Les\'s suggestion work to enable the graphics for the HADCM 5.44 model before you stopped running it? Or did you never see the graphics of that first model? What I did was, uninstalled everything (Boinc etc) and reinstalled it all again. Rebooted the PC and everything worked. The version I downloaded was: 6.2.18 It`s good to know that there are people out there willing to give up some of their time to help an old seadog. :-)

3) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Screensaver Changed (Message 35021) Posted 17 Sep 2008 by old_user537370 Post: Which BOINC version? If it\'s version 5, and you downloaded a model in the last few days, (which will be for version 6), then there\'s a backwards compatability problem with graphics, as described in this thread. (menu)Suspending BOINC, (menu)Exiting Boinc, and then restarting, MAY make the button (and graphics) active. Thanks, that worked a treat. And also thanks to the other gentlemen who gave their experienced help :-)

I`ve recently (30 minutes ago) joined & downloaded boinc/climate prediction. I can`t seem to gain access to the screensaver via the \"Show Graphics\" as it is not highlighted :-( Any help would be appreciated. Thankyou John :-)
5) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Screensaver Changed (Message 35014) Posted 16 Sep 2008 by old_user537370 Post: We recommend that the Screen Saver be set to Blank in Windows. (CPDN Screen Saver burns a lot of the CPU resource.) Then, when you want to see the globe, use the option \"Show Graphics\" in the boinc Manager Tasks tab. (Click on the model to select it, then on \"Show Graphics\". Click \"Z\" to get rid of the overlay. \"H\" toggles options list on and off.) We do this only when we want to check things, because of the high overhead. [Edited for typo.] I`ve just recenty downloaded and joined climate prediction but the \"Show Graphics\" is not turned on. How do I get to select it?
