When the system started a new 160 years simulation the CTRL key in the BOINC scren saver stopped working properly.

Impossible to make changes to the screen saver.
Any way to solve this problem
Thanks

Only by using an earlier version of BOINC. The latest ones aren\'t passing some of the keys through to the \'worker daemon\', and <Ctrl> is one of them.
But the screensaver isn\'t recommended anyway, as it can take up to 50% of the processors time to create the image.
Better to set Windows to Blank or None, and use the Show graphics button when you want to look at the globe.
