"bugs"=>"<ul>
<li>
Applications that were built before October 2004 do not
display screensaver graphics with the Service or Shared install type,
or the Single-user install type with the password protect screensaver
option on NT based machines.
<li>
If BOINC runs at the same time as Windows XP 3-D screensavers,
the system becomes sluggish and unresponsive.
<li>
Dial-up users should choose the single-user installation.
<li>
Graphics sometimes do not work with ATI Graphics card.
This bug has been fixed, but it requires new applications to be built. Please check
