Mine was grinding for over a year... but than... end of May this year...KABOEM and all lights were out (it activated the Auto-fuse from "home-power-net") ... the fuse inside PSU wasn't even melted. I was just waiting for that moment I guess because I checked some stores online 2weeks before and made already a list with "goodies" :D

btw...check if your firewall isn't blocking "boinc.scr" (or something like that) or you will not see screensaver either ;)

You can check it out by going to: "WORK" menu and press the "graphic"item in the leftside-menu than.

Maybe you should select BOINC again as your DEFAULT-screensaver (by right-clicking on your desktop-screen and go the screensaver menu)

OR indeed... go out and droooool at the PC-store. hehehe I bought new parts 1st week of June (well, bought all things except a new monitor ... and this beast is hot (fast) and cool (watercooled) at the same time :)
Had to do it, my PSU-"exploded" in my old p3 500Mhz (builded that one 5yrs ago) so it was "nice" excuse to get something new ;)

Thx for quick explanation, makes sense to me (now) :)

Yeah, my 2cts exactly. So why did they sudden opened account-creation again? Last week they said in the news-page they will not NEED new users?!?!?! Or where they amazed on how fast the accounts went when Message@home went open and wanted to know if theirs is also that "wanted"? LOL

Lucky it was stated in BOINCstats shoutbox that accounts-creation was open.
