It was working this afternoon when I left it, and I came back later tonight to find this the error message when the screen saver was started.

I have rebooted my computer and tested it from boot up and still receive the same problem. I have started BOINC manager a few times.

It is a 13" MacBook Pro, OS X 10.6.6, Nvidia GeForce 320M 256 MB. I do not know how to find out what the latest drivers are as I am not that familiar with Mac. These:
Device ID: 0x08a0
Revision ID: 0x00a2
ROM Revision: 3533
are from the system profiler under Graphics/Display if it is one of them. There is no DirectX for mac (to my knowledge).

I only run S@H for right now.

The messages:

Any help appreciated!

I can't tell you anything about that error, since I'm no mac user, but you can avoid it by not using the screensaver at all. It isn't necessary for running any BOINC project. It's just eye candy

Well, I tried running without the screen saver, and it errored. S@H has run out of work, it seems, and that was the cause of the error with the screen saver.

Thanks, anyway!
