Hello,
first I only got calculation errors or other mistakes, maybe some caused by the dedadline but surely not all.

Later, 2 projects worked at last: SET@home and rosetta@home but I noticed that only a few days after the first successful result.
Now there are at least 2 successful results: 1 for SETI@home and 1 for rosetta@home.
In the statistics there is only shown the successful result of rosetta@home and a further one that was not needed because of the deadline.
After I had the first successful results, the results that didn't work and that had not been results because of a calculation error, disappeared.
But QMC@home still didn't work yet.
Here is the result text:
364842 287389 22 Aug 2006 7:28:06 UTC 22 Aug 2006 21:37:11 UTC Over Client error Computing 2,337.69 5.43 ---
I have read there have been many errors on linux systems but I have Windows XP - don't now if there is a problem.
could this project disturb all other projects and even the program?
As far as I know it is not one of those alpha versions.
And only if there's no project runned by BOINC then I sometimes see the BOINC logo as the screensaver but I have never seen the Diagram of a project as a screensaver.
Okay, now I have read that rosetta@home seems to have a diagram for the "show graphic" window but not one for the screensaver (I thought the program just would take the same diagram but it obviously is not the same) but I also have never seen a SETI@home screensaver in the BOINC screensaver program, though.
When a project is runned I always see a blank screen. I have already tried out to change the 2 values especially that one of the field "show blank screen..." but it didn't help.
But I can see the "show graphics" window (by the way sometimes it doesn't appear though the button of it is clickable and sometimes it takes several minutes to appear though there is an active process).
Also, the screensaver sometimes is activated when it shouldn't for example when I'm whatching TV with PowerCinema - only sometimes this happens, not always.

BOINC and/or the QMC@home must be more stable, must have better functions and so on for example you only notice that a result had been successful when you look for it but there is no hint on the screen automatically displayed.
