Hi, I'm new to BOINC and was wondering how to set the screensaver in Windows 8, since the wiki information seems to be relevant to earlier versions. Specifically, right clicking on the screen -> Personalise -> Screen saver doesn't seem to have the BOINC screensaver as an option on the drop-down menu.

Further info:

-BOINC WCG Manager version 7.2.47
-Windows 8.1 (i5 processor, Nvidia graphics, 8 Gb RAM and ASUS motherboard)
-World Community Grid and Mindmodelling@beta

Cheers,

If I am not mistaken, the screen saver of World Community Grid BOINC is called World Community Grid.
