Unfortunately, if the last time BOINC was installed the BOINC screen saver
was selected, then this time when you uncheck the box to set the BOINC
screen saver, the screen saver will be set to "none". I wish there were
either three options or the two available were a bit smarter.
To make the current two smarter: If BOINC is not the current screen saver
and the user selects to not have BOINC be the screen saver, then leave the
setting alone.
For three options, have one to specifically leave the screen saver alone
and have this be the default on all upgrades.

Re: [boinc_dev] Screensaver
changing on installation.

The option is being given.
Third screen into the installer, click the Advanced button, then
uncheck "Use BOINC screen saver" if that option is checked.
I found that the option becomes checked when you uninstall a previous
BOINC version or do a clean install.
When you have opted out of using the screen saver using the Advanced
button routine before, then the next time you install BOINC over
itself, the installer will pick up on that.

than having it changed on install of boinc without warning or any option
being given.
