I upgraded to BOINC version 7.6.33 and my screensaver no longer works. Is there another version?

Whether the screen saver works or not depends on:
1. Are your videocard drivers up-to-date? The majority of the graphics applications require OpenGL 1.0 at minimum.
2. Do you run a project that even has a screen saver / graphics application for your operating system? You best ask that at the project the application is from.
3. Does that project have a screen saver / graphics application for all their science applications? Seti for instance only has it for the CPU tasks, not for the GPU tasks.

BOINC's built-in screen saver requires OpenGL 1.0 / DirectX 8.1 compatibility.
