Welcome to the folding support forum.

The "Empty work server" messages are indications the Assignment Servers can not connect you with a Work Server with projects suitable for your configuration. In your case you have the folding set to the default of Medium, and are asking for work for a single CPU core. For the standard client, that type of work has been in short supply of most of the last year or so.

At a setting of Full your system would probably be able to get assignments for two CPU cores, that is the minimum for many of the currently running CPU projects.

An alternative if you do not want to use the folding client with both server cores is the NaCl client for Google Chrome. That runs smaller work units and can be run at a percentage of your total CPU availability. The announcement was posted in the blog - https://folding.stanford.edu/home/addin ... e-browser/.

Thanks I will make the changes to see if that works thanks for the prompt response.

That worked!

Update: A server with work assignable to single CPU settings was offline, and has been brought back into service. See this post - viewtopic.php?f=18&t=27854&start=15#p277626. You should be able to go back to the lower setting if you want.
