distributed.net screen saver crashes my computer

[Chooie]

The client runs fine when windowed or minimized, but as soon as the screen saver multiplexor kicks in, it crashes - I mean BSOD, not GPF's. This is a fresh install of W98se on a PII-333@416 that I've run distributed.net on before, with the screen saver active. Is this a known problem with the new version?

It does the same thing on my comp.

Yes, this is a now issue with build 463. See the
Bug Report. It looks like if you use an earlier version, then the screen saver multiplexor will work.
