You can uninstall 4.19 without worrying about your work disappearing.

When you install 4.45 it will pickup where 4.19 left off.

As a precautionary measure you can make a backup copy of your BOINC directory, just copy it somewhere else on your PC. If the install of 4.45 fails, you can just copy your 4.19 install back.

Yes there is a reason
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php?dev=1
Development version (MAY BE UNSTABLE - USE ONLY FOR TESTING)

The 5.00 client was released for the ALPHA SETI project, so most projects are not ready for it.
They don't put those warnings there just for kicks.

>Can u have the graphics going in a window or only in screen saver mode?

To see the graphics, open up the BOINC client, and go to the "Work" tab. Right click the active(will have CPU time that it changing) work unit and tell it to show graphics.

> also the cpu usage, im stuck on 100%
I believe it the setting you changed to 75 is the resource share option. This doesn't change the amount of CPU that you use, but rather the amount of resource time you dedicate to each project you are signed up for.

I don't believe you can change the CPU usage, but you shouldnt have a need to. The priority setting for BOINC is set low so that it will give up resoruces to other programs as they need them.

Also to update settings on the client, go to the "Projects" tab and right click the project(LHC@Home) and select update, and it'll tell the project to contact the website and update your account settings.

When/if the credits are cleared,

We won't have to reattach to the project or sign up again right?

A couple of my PCs running LHC@home are offsite so I don't see them daily.
