I'm running Windows 10 Pro. I have a GeForce GTX 470 along with an Intel Core i7 CPU 870 @2.92GHz. Everything is up to date.

BOINC doesn't show up as a choice of screensavers under "Lock Screen", where all the other screensavers are located.

I know the program (BOINC) runs fine, I'd just like to have the screensaver showing when my screen is idle.

Thanks for any advice you can offer,
Richard

Rob, the WCG screen saver, does that show as World Community Grid or BOINC in the lists of screen savers?

So that then begs the question, did you install BOINC from Berkeley, or BOINC from World Community Grid? (Or from Grid Republic, or elsewhere?)
