I am running seti, climateprediction and now have added milkyway. With the first two I had no problems with the Show Graphics, but now only seti will show graphics.
Thankyou

BOINC 6.2.18, I presume?

Graphics and Screen Saver
The way that graphics work has changed significantly.
In BOINC 5 and before, the graphics module was built into the science application. Come BOINC 6, the science application and graphics application are two separate applications. This is done in case there are problems with the graphics, so that the task won't crash with a computation error. The graphics application may crash, but the computation continues.

Under Windows Vista the BOINC service runs on desktop 0, and the user display is sometimes desktop > 0. Under Vista a built in graphics display would not display at all.

When BOINC 6 is installed in protected mode (a service), it will only allow these new graphics applications to show the graphics or screen saver. Older applications will continue to work without a problem, they just will not show graphics or the project's screen saver. This mode also allows BOINC to run with no user logged in.

When BOINC 6 is installed in graphics compatibility mode (not a service), it will show graphics for both the older applications as well as the newer applications. This is the equivalent of multi-user mode and requires a user to be logged in.

Projects are urged though to make the new graphics applications.

Seti has updated its applications by now.
CPDN is in the process of updating its applications.
Milkyway has no graphics.
