My screen saver will not appear. When it goes to the screen saver, all that is shown is a blank black screen...why is that? A few hours ago, the actual screen saver was shown. Is there something wrong with it? I have a Windows XP computer, and, as I said before, it was working well.

right click the desktop -> properties -> screen saver (tab) use the drop down list to select BOINC as your screen saver, click on the settings button and make sure that the go to blank screen is unchecked

I got the same problem. "Black screen box" is unchecked.

However, this problem seems only to occur when I check the box for "password entry upon reactivation" (or whatever it is in the english version of Win XP). Whenever I uncheck this box or just "test" the screen saver, graphics are shown. Otherwise, it just goes to blank screen...

BUG !! ;-)
