Best to uninstall v4.19 and reinstall V4.25.
No work is lost.
Once on V4.25, on can simply install the next version as V4.25 is an MSI installer and supports upgrading.

I'm pleased to announce the 4.25 release of the BOINC client for Windows.
The highlights for this release are:
1. A MSI based installer, for large scale deployments.
2. A new task based GUI which utilizes the wxWidget cross platform
framework, so we could use the same GUI code for the rest of the platforms.
3. Installation options for running in the shared and service execution
modes.
4. A more comprehensive set of GUI RPC's for management of the daemon.
5. Abilities to suspend/resume projects.
6. Abilities to suspend/resume results, even ones which haven't started
executing yet.
7. Abilities to abort results.
8. Abilities to abort transfers.
9. Abilities to add URLs to the GUI Interface on a project specific
basis.
10. Supports multiple messages returned from the scheduler.
We would like to thank the Alpha testers and the various community members
who reported bugs and helped us smooth out the rough edges.
We are still cooking the Linux, Solaris, and Mac versions which should be
showing up in the next week or so.

Please file a bug report at the BOINC bug reporting page:
http://bbugs.axpr.net/
Be sure to indicate that graphics worked for 4.19 and fails for 4.25, and that nothing else has changed: the application is identical.

While I cannot reproduce this problem on any of my machines, I do believe we currently have a problem in this area. I'm continuing to investigate, I hope to be able to resolve this soon.

Only E@H and P@H is compiled against the new boinc API to allow screensavers to be shown.
S@H V4.10 currently alpha will.
CPDN sulphur model currently alpha does.
The projects need to compile against the new boinc API (4.2X) for users to see screen savers with the new 4.2X client

Basically some people are not able to observe the E@H graphics with the new CC.
We need to figure out why that is, it should be working with the E@H app.
