]Subject:) BOINC Screen Saver - Still does not turn the display off at the right time, per Windows Power Management setting to turn off the displayFrom: the screensaver prevents it from launching graphics applications Thereby preventing the timer from being reset

'''From:''' Jacob Klein !'''To:''' Rom Walton BOINC AlphaJacob

I suppose the long term fix would be to get Windows to tell us when the monitor is supposed to shutdown and use that value as the blank time when the blank time is greater.

IIRC, just the act of starting a new process that uses OpenGL resets the Windows timer for the display.

#Boinc screensavers windows 7
When I have the BOINC Screensaver set to wait 1 minute before starting (via the Windows 7 screensaver settings), and then I have Windows Power Management set to turn off the display after 2 minutes, the BOINC Screensaver will start after 1 minute, but then it will run for 2 minutes before the monitor will go into amber power save mode. Thus it takes 2 minutes of no activity to turn off the display. When I have the Blank Screensaver set to wait 1 minute before starting (via the Windows 7 screensaver settings), and then I have Windows Power Management set to turn off the display after 2 minutes, the Blank Screensaver will start after 1 minute, and then a minute later, the monitor will go into amber power save mode. What is the Malariacontrol.I believe there is a miscalculation somewhere in the BOINC Screensaver, which may be preventing the display from being turned off at the right time, per the Windows Power Management setting.
