Since I went to Panther on my old G4DP550 and my new DPG5, neither one will activate the screensaver. Anybody else? Ideas for a fix?
It runs fine as an app, even minimzed (Uses very little of the main processor tho), but no hot corner activation or timed activation.
Maybe a setting I missed?

TIA

It might not be compatible with Panther. I would run it via the console, if I were you. You will turn over workunits faster, that way.

I have no desire to run the CLI version. Don't do CLI's, that's why I'm on a Mac instead of a DOS-POS. The screensaver ran for a day or so, with some hiccups, but now refuses to start. Seems like that would imply the problem has a remedy.
Besides, with the GUI client, I'm doing a WU every 1.5-2 hours on the G5(6-7 hours on the G4)

I can't get my screensaver to activate with the hot corners either. I hope it's been activating on it's own though.

If it worked fine and then stopped, I would try deleting everything SETI related (including its preferences which may have become corrupt) and reinstalling it.

I didn't realize I was still running 3.07, and now 3.08 is working again.
