Screen-Saver Message When the BOINC Client Software Does Not Auto-Start
Screen-Saver Message When the BOINC Client Software Does Not Auto-Start

This occurs when BOINC Client Software is selected to be your screensaver, but the BOINC Daemon is not currently running.

Reasons:- BOINC Client Software has not been started automatically or manually or the BOINC Client Software has been shutdown. If the BOINC Manager is shut down but the BOINC Daemon is still running then you will not get this error message.

Rectification:- The safest and most straight forward way of fixing this error is to repair the BOINC installation by following the instructions found in the BOINC "How-To" Guide: "Repairing a BOINC Client Software Installation With The Windows Installer Program".
