Screen Saver Mode Control needed
I need urgently information on the following topic which is up to now not included in the FAQ:
On Grid Republic the screensaver of the running application program starts automatically by default.
However this setting interferes with my F-Secure virus scan program. If the weekly virus routine is running - which takes about 70-90% of the cpu time - and the sreensaver is started by GridRepublic there is no mire possibility to control the computer via the mouse. It is necessary to terminate GridRepublic using the Windows task manager and the running application results are lost with a computing error message. This is uncomfortable if there was already hours of cpu time gone into the broken task.
The options or preferences entry of the Grid Republic desktop does not provide any point to choose an option to disable the automatic start of the screen saver function. With the BOINC manger program earlier there was an option to choose the screensaver for each individual project.
Please leave here information what to to to include this option in Grid Republic.
Thanks
Dr.Mabuse
