New but can't get started

Post by PersonSuit »

I installed Folding@home on a computer. Windows 10 Pro, i5 4460, 8GB Ram, Cable 30/300mbps. I can't get it going. It seems to install ok but when I try to run the program it never downloads the work. The download show 0.0% and never starts. I am not sure what to do to get it going. Can someone help me get started? Thank you in advance.

Logs keep showing this:

Rats, usually the log is much larger than that and gives more clues. The first 200 lines tell quite a bit about how your system is working.

If I had to guess with almost no facts, I would guess your internet (firewall, router, etc.) is blocking downloads to F@H. You may wish to try to disable your firewall for 10 minutes and try to run F@H.

Telling us "Oh, I am at work, IT may have blocked me", or "Oh, I am at college in a dorm and IT may have blocked me" would give us clues.

Welcome to Folding@Home! I hope you decide to give us enough information to be more help!
