I run BOINC on a dual CPU system, so usually 2 different projects run at the same time. If any other graphics-capable project (SETI, CP, E@H) runs together with LHC, their screensavers always take priority, so seeing the LHC one is rare.

With the new BOINC Manager my computer is "overcommitted", so it always runs CP, thus I never see the LHC screensaver.

Not a big deal at all, just a slight pity, as it is quite nice (as with all BOINC screensavers - moving things around a bit makes it work better as a screensaver).

The new client should switch between project screensavers every 10 minutes. There may still be a problem with LHC since it seems to take longer than any other screensaver to start up. During the start up the BOINC client may give up on it and go to another project's graphics.

Just a guess btw I don't really know why LHC doesn't show up for you.
