When Einstein goes to screensaver, the orb graphic is fine but the printed info at the corners is jibbersih???? I have already re-installed BOINC to see if that would help. No joy.

There seems to be a problem

There seems to be a problem with the fonts and the standard graphics driver of Windows Vista / 7. I never saw this with a vendor-specific driver (e.g. from NVidia). This is a somewhat known problem, but we (the core project team) never got around to fix it. The screensaver code is open source, maybe there's some developer out there who is familiar with OpenGL on Windows that can fix this for us.
