Hi,

I am running BOINC version 6.12.34 (x64) // wxWidgets Version 2.8.10 // Windows 7 64Bit

Whenever the BOINC screensaver comes on, it always says "No Tasks Running".

I've already chosen SETI @ Home.

Not sure what I haven't done or what to do to troubleshoot?

Any ideas?

Well, when there's no tasks running, BOINC can't show you the Seti screen saver. It'll only run with active tasks.

I see over at Seti that you do have work appointed, but has it all downloaded? Is any of it running? What are the messages in the Event Log (CTRL + SHIFT + E, or Advanced view->Advanced->Event Log)?

"No Tasks Running" message when screen saver comes on. "Activity suspended" when I didn't suspend anything. I see that it is supposed to be downloading but the activity monitor in my Notification Area shows no data is being transferred. It was all working fine upon initial installation, but now it works about half the time. What gives?

Depends on what project you added, really. If Seti, then do know they have upload trouble. Have had it for the past 2 weeks. An overworked connection, really. Nothing you or I can do about that. If you want to keep your computer busy, add another project.

As for Activity Suspended, BOINC 6.12 has this nice bug where the BOINC screen saver is seen as a non-BOINC program, and as such when you have your preferences set to "Suspend work when non-BOINC CPU usage is above 25%" (the default setting), then BOINC will suspend work when its own screen saver comes on.

You can disable this setting by putting it to 100 or 0%.
Also check local preferences, if the web prefs don't take. Local prefs override web preferences of the same sort.
