Hi,

I re-downloaded Boinc yesterday and started Einstein@home and Rosetta@home projects. Both have scrambled graphics in the screensaver. In Einstein@home the stars are lookin ok, but the Search Marker isn't moving and all the text are unreadable. What could I do to fix this?

I'm using PC with Windows XP sp3.

It seems that search progresses in projects anyways.

Graphics are scrambled

What brand and model videocard do you have? Which drivers are installed for that? (You can find that info by Start->Run, type dxdiag, click OK, then when dxdiag has loaded go to the Display tab).

Do you see this corruption in other OpenGL programs, screen savers or games as well?

I updated the videocard

I updated the videocard drivers and it started working - simple as that.

Thank you!

I thought I had pretty decent drivers, but they were two years old...
