Since you use Einstein 4.79 (the "official" Einstein WINDOWS application) with BOINC 5.2.X, the "graphics bug" is very likely the cause of your problem. (There are a bunch of threads around here that discuss the "graphics bug".)
You should change to the Beta application (see the link under More Information on the E@H home page). Don't worry, the Beta application is very stable (I switched to it back in early August when the "graphics bug" struck my computer and it works great).
Another possible cause of your problem is an out of date graphics card (Display Adapter) driver. If you do a "Windows Update" and there is a new driver available for your hardware, it should tell you how to download it.
Thanks il try it:)

Hi birk,
Welcome to Einstein@Home. We hope you enjoy your stay here.
Because your machine is not the very latest, probably the most important thing is to make sure you have the very latest drivers for your graphics hardware. Can you be more specific about what you have already tried?
Also, since 5.2.10 was a transition towards a (hopefully) more stable 5.2.13, you could upgrade your version of BOINC. I suspect that the rapid changes are finished and that 5.2.13 will be it for a while (hopefully) :). There are full instructions here. In your case the procedure is even simpler as you can install "over the top".
If you still have problems with displaying the graphics, your final choice is the beta app as mentioned by Stick. Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Gary.
My xp system has all patches

My xp system has all patches applied to date and my Radeon 9800 Pro driver is also the most current. I have installed BOINC Manager 5.2.13 since I wrote the first message and not I don't event get asked if I want to run the graphics on any of my projects not just Einstein.
RE: I don't event get asked

You won't be asked if you want to run them - you have to click on the running result in the Work tab and then click on "Show graphics", or you have to set your screensaver in Windows to be BOINC. Maybe I'm not understanding the problem...

In the previous version when

In the previous version when I clicked on “Show graphics�, a screen came up which ask if I wanted to display the information from a remote machine ( I don’t know the exact wording , local or remote, but something, the only fact is a question window came up) and now it does not. Note: other project graphics do come up.
RE: display the information

This was a bug that became "more common" after 5.2.8, that was fixed in 5.2.13...
Are you seeing the graphics in other projects but not Einstein? Is the "Show Graphics" button greyed out, or what does it do when you click? Please give us as much information as you possibly can.
