Why is there no graphics in the screensaver? DOes Einstein not have any graphics assoicated with the project?
Ace,
There are graphics, as well as screensaver for Einstein. Just read the problems threads (lol), or search for "screensaver" or "graphics".
OK, which version of Boinc and which version of Einstein do you have?
What kind of install - Single user(recommended), multiple user, or service?
What operating system?
From there. we can go to the next phase.
Regards,

You might want to do as Michael Roycraft suggested and look here for help.
Basically you have two options. One, install the beta app. or two, do not activate the screensaver or "show graphics" until the problem is
solved in the regular app.

Yes there is a screeensaver to Einstein. Is your BOINC Manager connected o the local host icon present in your desktop tray? You need to be online for a start... second, have you set BOINC as your screensaver in your control panel? If running Seti for instance, you will get Seti screensaver, otherwise, if Einstiein or LHC is running, you should get the 'saver. Perhaps adjust the time to run the saver before it goes to a blank screen? The 'saver is cool. hope you get success with it!

I have just joined with BOINC 5.2.6 and cannot find a way of downloading the screen saver. HELP please
The screensaver is no separate program. In BOINC manager open
the work tab, select an EINSTEIN WU and press "show graphics".

Great and thanks, everything is easy when you know how. Thanks for the HOW, Martin
Sorry for the stupid non reply in my previous posting, but i am a neophite when it comes to using message boards. What I meant to say is that I tried to apply to the above instructions, I even set my blank screen option to 120 minutes. But all i got when the screensaver started was just a blank screen. I really do not know what I am doing wrong. I know it is not really necessary to have a cool screensaver when one is doing one's bit for science by scearching for gravity waves, but, blast, it would be nice to have it all the same.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can solve this problem.

Unfortunately this trashed a WU, see this result.
