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. ;-)

Is there even any plans to get get the screen saver fixed?

Yes, there is... Just look to news on Front page. ;-)

YES!!! We can see very strange status of Front page:
1. Messages are from the FUTURE;
2. Current progress is from the PAST!!!
I agree with the author of this thread, this phenomen may be as evidence of some space-time deformation... ;-)

Yes!
I am reporting additional problem - BOINC statistic pages (BOINCstats, Free DC...) do not receive updated information from LHC@home exactly for the same time period.

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...

1. This problem is (may be) back.

88) Message boards : Number crunching : LHC is conflicting with other projects (Message 22076)
Posted 15 Mar 2010 by metalius
Post:
Hello, dear friends!
Problem.
Once LHC task(s) is (are) downloaded, the tasks from one of other BOINC projects begin Running in high priority and blocking LHC. That one of other is always the project with shortest deadline. But I was shocked, when a host, usualy running CPDN only, captured LHC tasks, and CPDN tasks began Running in high priority. This is absurdity!
Details.
1. No matter:
- how big are LHC tasks (for 20 minutes or 20 hours);
- what is Resource share between projects;
- which value is set for Additional work buffer or how much tasks have other projects.
2. It is important, which version of BOINC is installed:
- this effect appears, when BOINC manager is 6.6 or higher;
- there is no problems, when manager is 6.2 or lower.
P.S. This situation is never seen before...

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...

...some especial the older ones just work with fortrane and thats it. They are not open for new things. I think that´s a big mistake.

No. That is not a mistake. That is factor of age. ;-)

Any chance, that the results will finish in time?

This chance depends on new CPU time limit, Your machine needs approximately 2 days.

The speed is 1.5% per hour for the last _ultimate_inj_ tasks on this machine...
Abort or wait?
Is it possible to extend the time limit for running tasks?

New tasks + old CPU time limit = new bug. Sad, but true... (c)
I got 2 candidates for CPU time waste (2 big tasks are captured by P4 machine)...

I hope, this bug is not difficult to find and to fix.
And I hope, the project team is reading our messages.

It looks like - SCREEN SAVER IS KILLING THE TASKS!
No matter, is Show Graphics clicked or not.
6 of 7 tasks crushed, sad.

---Update---
SOS!!!
Unfortunately...
If Windows screen saver is set to BOINC, all the tasks are dying.
This effect appears at least on all machines with ATI video cards. No matter, which model. New or, for example, 3+ years old.

WU's from LHC are now 10 times bigger by daily quotas 10 WU pro CPU. So, in reality we have no restrictions anymore - this is great!
