I just installed Boinc, had Grid before, still use Grid as manager. Until this install (ATI drivers finally work well enough), my XP Pro 64 would run projects just fine. Now I have the issue with any screen saver stalling the projects. I know this because I have a CPU & Ram meter up on the LCD on my keyboard. As soon as I touch a key or move a mouse it picks up again. I moved to Boinc because my reading said I need to use Boinc instead of Grid to use my GPU. I like to let the machine run during the night now that it is cold but it is pointless if projects won't run, any ideas?

First off, what do you mean with grid? GridRepublic, the account manager with their own client, or World Community Grid, the project with their own client?

Second, when you installed BOINC, did you uninstall the previous version through Windows Add/Remove Programs prior to installing BOINC?

Third, Which projects are you attached to? Are any of them using the ATI GPU to do calculations with?

Fourth, what if you set the screen saver to none? Science can be done at all times, the screen saver isn't really necessary. Lots of projects don't even have a screen saver.

Fifth, what is your preference setting for

Suspend work if no mouse/keyboard activity in last --- minutes
Needed to enter low-power mode on some computers
