I stopped running it because it won’t let the screen saver activate, tho’ it used to.

If you were running the GUI version (that’s the one with the little red flower in the bottom corner), there should not be much of a conflict between the two.

I always turned off my screensaver so that F@H would get more computer cycles to complete the work.

Since the screensaver is important to you, download the console version 5.04 of F@H here:

Save it to your F@H directory, and the run the program. You enter the normal stuff (Name, Team #36120), enter no to proxy but YES to Advanced Options.

Inside advanced options enter 75% (your choice) on CPU time, default down to “Always use advanced scientific...” and call this one Machine ID 2. It doesn’t hurt to call it 1, but just to keep thinks clear.

Let it run for about 10 minutes while connected to the Internet, then close the DOS box and restart the system.

You should never have a conflict between the two programs again.
