First, the machine is unresponsive for about 3-5 seconds, then WHAM, its resolution gets changed to 800*600. As soon as I switch off the graphics, the changing of resolutions goes away. I've searched the forum (also the "Errors in Rosetta 5.25-thread), but noone seems to have stumbled upon this problem. How does this happen, and more importantly, how can I stop this behaviour?

Can you switch on the graphics for other projects? Perhaps you can try to deinstall Boinc and resinstall it. ID: 23632 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

When I open the graphics they come up in a small window, and that's it. How about the graphics from other projects? Do they do the same?

While the graphics for me fulfill my desire to watch my computer making progress, they are still quite neat... I hope this problem gets solved eventually. I'll also try to repeat this behaviour with another project's graphics. ID: 24081 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
