This is another one....

<!-- This is a sample XML configuration file for the Folding@home console client. This configuration file format is explained in detail in the Client User's Guide. Copy this file to 'config.xml' and edit. To set your user name, team and passkey just edit the text in quotes below. -->
<!-- User Information -->
<user value="anonymous"/>
<!-- Enter your user name here -->
<team value="0"/>
<!-- Your team number -->
<passkey value=""/>
<!-- 32 hexadecimal characters if provided -->
<power value="light"/>
<gpu value="false"/>
<!-- If true, attempt to autoconfigure GPUs -->
<fold-anon value="false"/>
<!-- Folding Slots No folding slot configuration is necessary. The client will automaticlaly choose a good configuration for you. However, here are some examples: <slot id="0" type="CPU"/> or <slot id="0" type="CPU"/> <slot id="1" type="GPU"/> All slots in a configuration MUST have unique ids. -->
<!-- Granting Remote FAHControl Access To grant remote access to FAHControl and the remote command server add the following: <allow>127.0.0.1 x.x.x.x</allow> <password>PASS</password> Where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the computer which should be granted remote access and PASS is you choose to further secure the connection. -->
<!-- Granting Remote Web Access If you would like to grant remote Web access then you need these two configuration lines: <allow>127.0.0.1 x.x.x.x</allow> <web-allow>127.0.0.1 x.x.x.x</web-allow> Where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the computer which should be granted remote access. You may also need to open port 7396 on your firewall. You can then access the Web interface remotely by going to this address: http://y.y.y.y:7396/ Where y.y.y.y is the IP address of this computer. -->

Thanks for posting the configuration file. The first one that you posted is the one that is needed. The second one is just a sample so can be ignored for troubleshooting.
Looking at you configuration, it seems that some defaults are changed which may have a negative impact on your system:
1) Is there any reason to change the <cpu-affinity v="true"/> when the default is false?
2) Why is the logging turned off <verbosity v="0"/>? The default value is 3 and is recommended to use that.
3) Do you have a good reason to fold while the laptop is on battery (or desktop on UPD) <pause-on-battery v="false"/>? The default is true and is recommended to keep it like that.
Do you have two systems, Windows 7 and Windows 8 and F@H is running properly on Windows 7 but giving you issues on Windows 8? I am currently folding on Windows 7 and Windows 8 64-bit and don't have any issues in either operating systems.

I would suggest that you uninstall V7 (select the option to delete the data folder) and do a fresh installation. Once you have done that, please post a fresh log if you are encountering any issues.
The message means that FAHClient doesn't have a username, passkey, team number so will wait for the donor to configure it. That is a normal message that appears when you first start FAHClient and configure it. Once configured, you are set to go.

The default installation places the config.xml file in the default data directory. It looks like FAHClient isn't starting pointing the right directory. The simplest way to fix that is to just reinstall. That will also create a default config.xml that contains your name/team/passkey (if you have configured it) and a CPU slot and if appropriate, a GPU slot. About the only thing you need to do then is adjust the slider up or down until you're donating your choice of resources. Don't make other configuration changes until you're really convinced that you can't find a slider position that works for you .
