Ok, I downloaded the VMware player like it said to do, and I'm getting an 'unknown error, check logs', Where's the logs? I can't find them for the life of me...

Nevermind, I just downloaded the earlier version and that worked......

My folding has stalled, should be back up in a few days, stupid computers!

I was doing some computer maintenance today and realized that Evga Precision no longer shows my temps. I read up on it and it seens to be an Nvidia problem with all 190. series drives...it cannot read the temp sensors.

I installed the 186.18 drivers again to see if the temps would come back. I was surprised to see the temps again and my PPD on a 353 work units jumped about 500 points.

I am going to stick with these for a while

Strange. I run 190.62 and Precision sees my temps.

Maybe I run an old version of Precision.?

Perhaps, however the general consensus with the 19x drivers is that they suck except for the latest beta drivers(195.39), and even those have a few issues themselves.

Are the Stanford servers down?

I have not gotten any points the last 2 days?
