As you can see at the link I have completed some WU without getting points for it. Someone who can explain?

PS I have first access to the machine next week
PSS it is running win 7 64 bit with FAH GPU Tracker V2

I have only seen that kind of report when one of my folding machines started immediately failing WU's after downloading, and then kept getting and returning them without completing. Check your log files for errors. In my case the causes have been various, we would need to see the errors reported to have an idea what is the issue in your case.

Stop using unsupported 3rd party softwre and upgrade to the V7 client software to avoid problems like this.

Joe_H: I will take a look at the reports when I come home from Akademy (monday the 9th)
7im: When I was setting up this machine I experiences problem with V7. I dont know if those problem has been resolved. That is why I am using 3th part software

If you post the V7 log showing your difficulty, this forum can be very helpful in getting it to work for you. The most likely difficulties come from changing settings from the default values to other values. (Well, other than UserName/TeamNumber/Passkey, of course, which everyone recommends that you change.)

Many of the possible causes of low/no score in V6 will also cause problems in V7 so you may be looking at fixing a problem that's common to both of them.

Hopefully V7 has fixed at least a couple of the possible causes, otherwise, what's the point of rewriting V7 from the ground up? If all PG wanted was a pretty GUI, it could have adopted the GPU Tracker GUI just as easily.

it looks like thr problem has "gone". The mass finished WU has stopped, but it looks like only GPU is folding now (based on the score). Why does problem only occurs when I leave the computer alone. This problem started the day after I left for akademy. When I whent for open source days last time there was also some problem (but those was hardware related).

So when I come back I can try the v7 of the clinet. I was asking around a while ago if I should upgrade and the crowed did say that they recommended that I did not upgrade because I did (at that time) have a working setup

In another thread, bruce mentioned that V7 was better at handling WU errors, which I also took to mean that V7 was better at preventing run away clients.
