Me too :( I\'ve never had the chance to see the graphics on the LHC projects mainly due to the lack of WU\'s but since they started again I couldn\'t resist having a look and when I did it killed the WU dead. I\'m not using an ATI or Nvidia card but an Intel G45 onboard chip which shares system RAM. LHC is the only project I have had a problem with. I guess if we keep killing the WU someone will get the hint and either fix or remove the graphic option, I would like to see the problem fixed myself. Glad LHC is back anyway and for now I\'ll just leave it crunching. |

Please put in the effort to repair the graphics rather than kill them. Not using it at the moment, just manually tried the graphics from nostalgia... oops. Anyway the screensaver maxed to 5 minutes has little drag on computation. It's nice to occasionally get a brief visual of which project is being crunched, and some eye candy. Even if power crunchers do the bulk of BOINC work (?) many of "the masses" including most who never use the message boards, enjoy and are at least partially motivated by the screensavers. Good will and education wrt individual projects are real benefits of BOINC imo, it's not only the project results that are helpful. [2 cents] |

The \"Show Graphics\" button is inactive for me. So I never had problems like this. I\'d like to have some graphics, but better no graphics than this problem. |

OK we think we have a solution and it should go online once we have tested it. Sadly it involves stripping out the graphics but this is a stop gap as the scientists want to get their work done and bigmac is on holidays as of today. Once he is back graphics will become something for him to investigate. I will keep you updated. |

Argh, it got me at 25 hours into a unit. |

OK we think we have a solution and it should go online once we have tested it. The tasks are still trying to activate screen graphics (when Windows screen saver is set to BOINC) and that is fatal every time. Sad... |

Hi! Scheduler request failed: Error 417 Does anybody know what\\\'s this? Is it a simple HTTP error? thx parafa |

Error when I push the show graphic button: I meet the same problem as other folks after more than 9 hours. Please see this: http://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/workunit.php?wuid=3733705 Sincerely yours, Michele (Boinc Alpha tester) |

OK we think we have a solution and it should go online once we have tested it. Hi Nesan, Any new status? By now there is no new application. Matthias |

There has been no update. Let me have a discussion with some people. |

I\\\\\\\'m sorry about graphics problem; I have given priority to Hi bicmac, there will no checkpointint/restart of the result, due to the graphic program is in the computing program. When one of both will crash, the result is lost. This also happens, when the Boinc screensaver with LHC is activated. The other projects with screensaver made a second program that only shows the sreensaver based on the data of the calculating program. If the screensaver does not work, the calculating program continues without error/crash. Please consider to remove/deactivate the graphic part of the LHC program, then the problem is resolved. I don\\\'t use the the Boinc Screensaver, but love the LHC graphic. Matthias |

Hi! Does anybody know what\'s this? \"Workunit error - check skipped\" \"errors: Too many total results\" \"Claimed credit: 270.038561282912\" \"Granted credit: 0\" http://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=18391934 http://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/workunit.php?wuid=3707725 |

1. It is evident that maximum count of attempts was reached. 2. It is possible that CONSENSUS was not found - no matter WU 3707725 has even 4 successful results... |

Is there even any plans to get get the screen saver fixed? Yes, there is... Just look to news on Front page. ;-) |

It\'s \"staff\"? You mean one retired physicist, and two unpaid volunteers who do this in their spare time? So I made some mistakes typing in some dates, the world isn\'t going to end. A solution is being looked at but currently our day jobs (i.e. the actual LHC, you knwo that thing that is now up and running after ~20 years of planning) is kind of taking a lot of our time because we are paid to work on that and our bosses expect us to do our jobs. |

PS Who needs a screensaver? What we need is data to crunch. |

PS I agree. I do not understand why people have their knickers in a knot about the screen saver. I will not use one (no matter how pretty it looks) and just set the screen to go blank. Screen Savers eat valuable CPU cycles. Turn them off! |

I do not understand why people have their knickers in a knot about the screen saver. Join, for example, climateprediction.net and try to crunch ignoring their screen graphics. You will understand a lot. And very fast. P.S. If You do not understand something today, this Your incomprehension may disappear tomorrow - this is factor of age only. ;-) |
