I guess this has probably been answered before but i cannot find it in the forum, so here goes..

I have just installed BOINC, and am only running the climatePrediction as my only project.
I had the issue where it was crashing due to the library issue, which i solved with the 'opt' directory fix i found in the posts here, ....the only thing missing from making me happy is some kind of screensaver graphical model, .....i was under the impression i would have something like this available, but my screensaver says i am running a BOINC app that does not have a graphical whatevermyjig.

Is this the case with macs, or have i missed a vital piece of something somewhere, ......when i leave me computer i want it to have something pretty on the screen, and as i have viewed posts about control of such a thing i know this is possible, ...what have i done wrong, or not done at all.

Screen savers take up cpu time, so the usual recommendation is to set Screen Saver to 'none' and just turn off the monitor.

You can find a GUI version of BOINC with a graphical display <a href="http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php"> here.</a>
If you're already using one of these, you may have another problem, such as how it was setup. If you have a GUI version, can you see the display? (Click on the model name in the Work tab, and select Display.)
