I upgraded to Windows v8.5.5. Firstly, the v8.5.5 install doesn't remove a v7 installation, if v7 is not installed in the default Program directory. This screws up v8.5.5 install, as the v7 Start Menu items aren't removed. The fix was to run Uninstall.exe from within the v7 Program directory, and th...

So, that might be the reason why I keep getting mostly the same projects (18260-3 & 16773-5)?

So, some projects aren't being issued to v7 clients?

Will this mean that eventually there won't being any projects, perhaps just for newer GPUs, for v7 clients?

04:46:14:ERROR:std::exception: bad allocation 04:46:21:ERROR:WU00:FS00:std::exception: bad allocation This usually means the there's not enough system RAM and/or virtual memory available. It could also be memory leaks from the client which affect biggest projects like 18261. Those leaks are fixed i...

I can confirm that only 18261 work units cause this, and do so once every work unit: ERROR:std::exception: bad allocation ERROR:WU00:FS00:std::exception: bad allocation Project: 18261 (Run 155, Clone 2, Gen 22) is currently running and creating 31.7MB viewerFrame.json files, and using 11GB of RAM.

Hardly. I've seen viewerFrame.json files of 11 and 32 KB too.

RAM disk? Please use conventional storage devices for FAH. I've been using a RAM disk for years without any issues. The only thing that has changed is my GPU, which can produce viewerFrame.json files that are bigger than 32MB, for which I increased the size of the RAM disk, and Dynamic Memory Alloc...

My GPU has had a least a couple of these problems: 04:35:08:WU00:FS00:0x27:Completed 0 out of 250000 steps (0%) 04:35:13:WU00:FS00:0x27:Checkpoint completed at step 0 04:35:24:ERROR:Receive error: 10053: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine. 04:35:48:WU00:FS00:0...

It is up to the labs to apply for FAH participation I guess I'm thinking that they may not know about FAH, and inviting them, or just giving them an information pack, might lead to more work being both available and done. There is a list of current and past members of the Folding@home Consortium Th...

Are there any international research organisations participating in FAH?

If not, why not? Given the lack of work at times, wouldn't having more participants be better. Plus FAH is an international effort, so why not process work for international research organisations?

If you look around these forums you might have noticed that FAH had some server issues in past several days, your GPU transfer failed messages might be related to that I haven't seen any other posts about very slow (55.54MB of 74.10MB @ 34.16KB/s), and which then fail, downloading problems. Thankfu...

My GPU has experienced lots of Exception: Transfer failed for the last three hours, during very slow downloading of a new work unit (@<350kbit/s). Is this problem restricted to v7? Also, is it possible to have FAH Control open whenever Folding@Home is manually started in Windows. I removed the comma...

Why am I getting two of the following messages, every minute, in my version 7 logs? WARNING:52:127.0.0.1:404 HTTP NOT FOUND /api/websocket These messages appear when you run v8 web control and you have a v7 client on our system. I thought that might be the case. Thanks toTow for confirming that. I'...

I've just discovered that version 7.6.21 logs the upload and download progress (in Windows)!

If you have an unused GPU folding slot that you delete using the v7 Configure, by default it will be added back. To keep this from happening, once you have the GPUs you want configured, then set GPUs to false. The ones already configured with slots will remain, the client will not rescan to add GPU...
