Okay I have had a read through the threads and can\'t really find the answer I need.

My screen saver will not work any more at all. I know you shouldn\'t run the screensaver but I like it.

I have not suspended the project and Boinc is set to my preferences which is set to run after 3 minutes of no activity.

Messages tell me that “Suspending network activity - user is active”. The computer was NOT being used.

can someone help?



Was working fine this morning but all day I ahev been trying to fix.

This has been reported before, but mostly on the BOINC boards. I think that it\'s a BOINC problem.
Which version of BOINC do you have, and how is it installed? (Single user, Shared, or Service)

edit
I found this thread, but I\'m sure there have been others.
Note the 2nd post, where it\'s mentioned that the video chip can cause the problem.

Okay version is 5.4.9 and as a single user.

This morning when I came in the screen saver was again working, so maybe it is taking forver to kick in, which is also very very strange as it used to come on after a couple of minutes.

Not sure if I have changed anything by accident in trying to fix it.
I think maybe it\'s a windows thing. I can\'t even get a standard screensaver to kick in now.

Ohhh nooooooo, I am so computer stupid

Another update, It is working however will not kick in after the 4 minutes. It seems to be more like 30mins.

Anyone have an ideas ?
Thanks :D

What is the time interval set for in Windows screen saver? (In the control panel)
I vaguely remember something about this value having to be greater than the BOINC Prefs setting, or the other way around. Perhaps this is the problem.

Yep, had a play with that overnight and it dosen\'t seem to make a difference either way.

it is still doing the 20minute thing. My guess is it\'s a network thing.

Anyway thanks for your help and I guess I will have to live with it until I can find a way to hack around our network preferences.
