If its Windows just right click on desktop, properties then move over to screensaver tab alter it to none there

Thanks David, that did the trick nicely.

I've switched the screensaver back on (sad git, I know!) But I switched it off when I was only doing four projects, now I'm doing fourteen, so I'm curious about the other ten graphics! :oops:

I'll get fed up with it and turn it off, eventually! :lol:  :lol:

If you go into the 'view' option and click 'simple view' a smaller screen comes with all your projects on you will see if graphic's are avalible for the project. If you click on the black BOINC screen in the window the graphic launches for that project.

I used the 'Show Graphics' button in 'Advanced View', but like 'Simple View' you can only look at the graphics for the project that is running. Switching the screensaver on means a new graphic everytime I peek round the door at the 'puter! :shock:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:
