Would any manual changes and/or copying back of any of the graphic EXEs allow both optimized processing and the limited graphic use? Or do I need to uninstall the optimized code to get the graphics back? Will uninstalling the Lunatics installer put my Boinc back as it was? What would be the easiest way to get back to the old setup without breaking SETI or my other Boinc projects?
I am aware that the screensaver graphics uses resources that slow down SETI processing but on at least one older laptop I was trying to keep the ability to show the graphics (manually through Boinc or by screensaver), while attempting to increase processing throughput. This is just an older Win XP Duo Core laptop with no high end GPU. I limit the screensaver use or only manually display graphics as needed but it seems neither graphic capability is available after I installed the Lunatics v0.40 installer to optimize SETI. I would hate to lose the 150-250% processing gains I have been seeing because of the inability to use the graphics since the graphics can be used sparingly to minimize its impact far less than that gained by the optimized client over the stock apps.
