Message 52871 - Posted: 28 Feb 2014, 18:29:19 UTC

So I recently built a new computer and installed BOINC and connected it to my Seti@home account. I have Windows 8.1 and a screaming fast video card and cpu.

It's been a *LONG* time since I've run Seti@home. A very, very long time.

When the screen saver is active, the Seti window with the graph is bouncing all over the screen.

Two questions:

1) Is there any way to stop the Seti@home chart from bouncing?

2) Is there any way to view the Seti@home data screen without running the screen saver?

I've looked for answers to both questions but didn't find anything useful.

Thanks for the info :)

1) FAQ: Disable the Seti screen saver from moving

2) from Manager, select running task, show graphics

Graphics is not available for Seti GPU tasks.

(Jord, if you are reading. The other FAQ entry says the wobbling effect can be disabled but doesn't tell how. Could a link to the first FAQ entry be added there?)

From Monday onwards the FAQs are going to be redone and moved to a Wiki, so that's one of the things I'll add to the long long list. Thanks...
