FAHJ on laptop will not install

[Anjo_Zwartkruis]

Hello. I already fold for almost two years now ( Computertotaal, 53650 ) and had to preform a new install on more machines.
On desktops the version with te commandline input, works fine.
On my two laptops Win XP and Win7 the latest version installs, but will not start up

No firewalls or Antivirus enabled, it simply will not start.
Could use some help
Thnx Anjo

Welcome to foldingforum.org, Anjo_Zwartkruis.

By the "latest version" do you mean one of the newer V6 versions or do you mean the V7 version? In either case, we'll need a description of your hardware and the choices that you made during installation.

If you mean V7, there's a special forum for the V7 beta: viewforum.php?f=67 Did you read the installation guide?

Ver 6,23 the same one that folded the last months The one with the viewer in systray
Win& on Aspire 5315 with 3 Gb mem. WinXP on an NC6120 HP laptop with 1,5 Gb mem.
I performed the simple instaal with no parameters entered except -smp in the confog screen and my passkeynumber.

6.23 Windows XP/Vista/7/2003/2008 System tray (Systray) client installer with optional viewer ?

I don't think that is meant to run with -smp parameter (I could be wrong). Try taking it off and seeing if the client will run as an Uniproccesor client. [Additionaly try removing the passkey temporarily and folding as Anonymous and see if that helps.]

I allready did . performed a clean instaal after using configscreen > remove software and ran CCleaner afterwards
Still won't startup. Alo whwn I try to run is as admin.
Is there a possibility that MS did an update that blocks FAH??

[bruce]

-smp is specifically desinged to run with multi-core processor CPUs or multiple CPUs. Both of those laptops have Uniprocessor hardware so the -smp flag will cause a problem. Moreover, I'm not sure what will happen if a WU was successful downloaded.

You should not need to run as admin if the client has a Read/Write data area. I presume you start it with a shortcut. What does it say?

[7im]

No, MS has not blocked FAH.

Please confirm what -switches (paramters), if any, you are using.

Please also post the contents of the fahlog.txt file.

At a rate of about half hour per frame, it's going to take more than 2 days to complete if you run 24x7 but it looks like it was working on August 19. Are you starting the client manually or have you added a shortcut to the startup folder?

[Anjo_Zwartkruis]

SOLVED, at least on my main-used laptop )
I removed FAH 9 again) and did a new download a.dn after disabling my virus-an Internetprotection - which I allways do when istalling FAH-did a new install.Now my systrayicon is back, I could fill in my name etc and it is running again.
Thnx guys for the support.
@ bruce the shortcut in the startupfolder didn't do anything, had to lacate the folder and doubleclick in the icon.Now it starts properly with the shortcut.I also slowed down the CPU-use to 50% due to overheating my Aspire
Kind Regards Anjo
