Hi Frank

The first thing that needs to be done, is to \'select\' a model for displaying. So make sure that the line of text for the model in question is highlighted. Click it if it\'s not.



Nope. I have two tasks running, when I highlight either one, all buttons are active EXCEPT \"Show Graphics.\"

My \"SHOW GRAPHICS\" button is grayed out. Any suggestions?

What am I doing wrong?
Using the control key.


Seriously, the control key hasn\'t worked in any version of BOINC screensaver for a very long time. It was found to be a security risk, so it was disabled.

If you want to look at different views, you need to use the Show graphics button in the Tasks tab of the gui.
If you want to make a permanent change to the view, you need to do this in prefs on the server, and then re-start BOINC.
And using the screensaver can be wasteful of processor time, as the image is dynamic. (Constantly being recalculated.)
