F@H Display not working

For some reason, Folding@home's display is not working even when F@H is doing the work.

I have: Windows CPU Client 6.23

Computer spec:
Intel Core 2 Duo T5750 2.00Ghz
3GB DDR2 Memory
Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family 358MB

Why, when I click display in the context menu, does it give me a black window. (It is working for sure. CPU Usage 50% as I setted)

Welcome to the forums!

The display is quite buggy and doesn't work for a lot of people sadly. It also uses a significant amount of CPU power (slowing down the actual scientific processing) so we recommend that for the moment if you wish to monitor progress you use a third party app such as FahMon.

I just wish to take a screenshot of display. This is for a project of mine.

If you have a multicore machine, the display will behave much better.
