Anne,

The screensaver is part of BOINC. You don't have to download anything special. You just have to tell your computer to use the BOINC screensaver and whenever BOINC is running Einstein you will see the Einstein celetial sphere.

BUT, the Einstein v4.79 application will more than likely cause you problems with the screensaver. (You might want to browse through the message boards and look for other "screensaver" reports). The solution is to install the Beta application (follow the link under More Information on the E@H home page). You should also look at the Wish List board for some recent posts regarding this issue.
