When LHC-sixtrack is running as a screensaver hangs-up the mouse control and I'm not able to use the mouse any more. I must use the keyboard and disable the LHC running in BOINC to have again the mouse control. I saw that this problem happens only with LHC and not with the other BOINC applications and happens only on my computer with Windows XP+SP2 (I've got a Windows 2000 computer that has not this problem). I saw also that there is a very high use of memory (more than 1GB with only BOINC running!). I think that the programmers must solve this problem as soon as possible because it is very difficult to use a Windows computer using only the keyboard. |

I have the same problem, the LHC screensaver grabs the mouse and I have to alt-tab to get it back. The screensaver doesn't stop running, it grabs the mouse again and again, so I have to kill the process. I'm running Boinc 5.2.13 with sixtrack 4.67 on a 3GHz P4 hyperthreaded. Sixtrack has a virtual memory size of 400MB. |

Disable the screen saver and use the graphics tab on Boinc..... |
