Just installed version 5.4.11. Runnig Climate and Seti. The \"Show Graphics\" button under commands is not highlighted for either project. Am I missing something here? Thanks?

Is one of the models/work units in the Tasks tab labelled as Running?
If so, did you click on that one to tell BOINC which one to display?

Thanks that seemed to do the trick. I can now see the graphics in a window. However when the screensaver kicks in, I get the message \"BOINC is not running. Please launch BOINC to display graphics\". The BOINC item is in the toolbar
and BOINC is selected as the screensaver. Is there an additional step needed to turn BOINC on with this version? Thanks

We recommend against using the screen saver. It seems to cause more than its share of problems and also chews-up a lot of CPU time. It can be disabled in Windows -- set to blank or none.

Also, did you leave the manager by selecting \'exit\' from the menu? That will shut it down completely. Just click the \'X\' button on the upper-right of the window.
