Folding Forum

I had two machines that each ran several 6318 folding work units, resulting in several queue slots tied up on both machines due to failed uploads. Since your server came back online, the queue slots have cleared and both of my machines seem to be folding and transmitting normally now. The "Coul...

I tried running with -queueinfo as the only additional parameter, but once again, Windows gave me that "Folding@Home has stopped working" nonsense without allowing FAH to do what you asked. However, there is a viable "Plan B": Right-click on the Folding@Home icon in the systray,...

Windows does not expect a service to stop. Like I said earlier, if you plan to stop/start the client (including setting the -send xxx option) Microsoft will treat it as an error. and usually it will issue a message and then automatically restart the service. Repeatedly restarting FAH with the -send...

Dave wrote: Every time I tried to add the -send all additional parameter, the client died. I tried -advmethods -send all, then I tried -send all -advmethods, then I tried just -send all by itself, but each time, the client stopped working and I had to restart it. This version of the client just doe...

I run the current client (version 6.23) on a relatively new system (Windows Vista Home Basic, 2.0GB RAM, 2.0GHz single-core CPU, 139GB hard drive), so I know that I should be able to run any work unit in my current configuration. As I mentioned previously, I have checked the configuration box to per...

I suggest that you download the 3rd party application "qfix" into that directory and run it from the text window with FAH stopped. It looks like you've received a WU which is trying to upload a result larger than was expected for your configuration setting. Was the Connection tab box alwa...

I have been folding for one year now with no problems, until Project 6318 (Run 408, Clone 53, Gen 0) running Core 78. My system also has Cores 81, 82, and a0. My configuration has always been set for big files (box on bottom of Connection tab is checked to allow files >10MB), as this project require...

Bruce et al, I dumped all of my massive Hotmail .dbx files on the Presario, gaining me 553MB. I also found several Windows .msp (installer patch) files that were 117MB each. Several of those 117MB files were in the SoftwareDistribution folder and could not be deleted (I tried), but the others could....

These are all great ideas, you guys. However, I replaced that 7-year-old Presario 1200 system with my brand new Compaq CQ50 system, and then I put the Presario away in a box, intending that to be a permanent action. The Presario has many other things wrong with it, such as a missing F8 key, a broken...

since that system's hard disk is 99.8% full [offtopic] Whoa! Might I suggest that you free up a LOT of hard disk space prior to doing anything else. I hope that you do not have any critical data on that drive. :? Just trying to be helpful. :) [/offtopic] I would if I could, my friend. I haven't bee...

You didn't specify which monitoring preference you've selected, only that you double-checked the setting. In the "preferences" menu item on the "Monitoring" tab, be sure the "Auto reload clients" box is checked and a reasonable number of minutes is in the next box, (su...

I have two systems running the current Windows Systray version of Folding@Home (6.23) and the current Windows version of FahMon (2.3.99.1). My Compaq CQ50-139WM runs Windows Vista Basic Home Edition (32-bit) with 2.0GB RAM, 2.0GHz CPU, and 139GB hard disk (46.6% full). My other system is an old Comp...

I would tend to agree with Spazzychalk regarding how power companies purchase and distribute their power. Specifically, it's a purely economic decision, UNLESS the power companies are FORCED by federal or state regulations to purchase power from higher-cost alternative energy sources. If you had to ...

Understood. Thanks, guys!

I run FahMon to track my projects. From FahMon --> Preferences... in the menu bar, I clicked on the System tab. The last setting on the System tab is a checkbox to manually set the timezone to UTC + a number, which may be positive or negative. I am in the Central Time Zone, so I checked the box and ...
