I have had no problem running Seti with XP Pro for the last 6 weeks since
installed XP Pro. I have found however that Seti may not work properly when
run with other similar shared computing programs such as United Devices UD
Agent. The two programs just don't like to share the resources between
themselves and the rest of the computer. Sometimes Seti crashes and
sometimes UD Agent. You may want to check to see if you have any other
shared computer processing programs running at the same time and only
running one at a time.

Also, I do not use Seti as a screen saver. Have my system set to run Seti
all the time and connect to the internet whenever it needs to. The computer
itself is set to run all the time also; no hibernate, no HD shutdown, etc.
