Where is the Screensaver

Have you downloaded and installed BOINC? And have you attached Einstein to BOINC? From looking at your status page, it doesn't appear this has happened yet.

I also can't see the Einstein

I also can't see the Einstein screensaver. I am using an ATI Radeon 9200 Sapphire SE with 128Mb of DDR. As far as I can tell, I have downloaded the latest BOINC software, and followed all the instructions, but even if I click on "Show Graphics" under the "Works" tab, it won't display anything. Is it just ATI video cards that are having this problem?

Thanks

Rob

It is likely that your problem can be solved by the Beta Application. But, you should read this thread to make sure: Message boards : Cafe Einstein : NEW: WINDOWS TEST APPLICATION FOR EINSTEIN@HOME. If you decide you want to use it, the Beta App can be downloaded from the link under More Information on the E@H home page.

Have you downloaded and installed BOINC? And have you attached Einstein to BOINC? From looking at your status page, it doesn't appear this has happened yet.

Another thought: BOINC could be installed but not communicating with the Einstein web-site - perhaps because of a firewall configuration issue.

I have a firewall which I am unable to change the configuration of it, as it's built into my modem. I have tried changing the setting, but nothing happens.

Rob,

The firewall comment was directed to Ari (who hasn't connected yet). You obviously have connected (since your computer and results are viewable). The comment about trying the Beta App was directed to you.

Hello,_Stick,_this_Is_Ari_on_daughter_Anni's_(7yrs)_computer!

Ari,

Now that you have connected and have Einstein running, be aware of the note I sent to Rob. That is, since you are running Einstein 4.79 and BOINC 4.45, you may get the "graphics bug". Symptoms are "Client error Computing" messges and early termination of work units. If you do get it, try the Beta application (the link is under More Information on the E@H home page). Good luck!
