Just now, happy to see some work to do, was going to take a look at the graphics to see what it was, when clicking on it seemed to coincide with the work unit having a Computational Failure. Boo!! Bonnie *:> |

...same with me: downloaded a new WU, but whe the screensaver graphics started (automatically after 5 mins) it said something like \"there was an unspecified problem with BOINC screensaver\". So I looked back at the BOINC Manager and found the WU killed due to \"calculation error\" :-(( |

...forgot to say: When this happened, actually a task of Milkyway@home was running in parallel. Maybe a collision issue..?? |

Sorry guys, this is a known issue, dealt with in a couple of threads in the Number Crunching message boards and further down Q&A. Please don\\\'t open the graphics, and set your screen saver to anything but LHC. I think it\\\'s something to do with most people\\\'s Boincs now being version 6.*.* where graphics and application run entirely seperately, while that used here is version 5.*.* (or maybe even 4.*) and while the science bit works just fine on its own, opening the graphics causes an incompatability and crashes the task.
