Folding@Home: CF Official Discussion Thread

[Jet]

I had to do a restart for something else, and when F@Home started it tried to send right before the internet connection came through, so it stated that it had it on backlog and it tried to send it again. I restarted the program and it tried again, when the internet was on, but to no avail.

Very strange. I take it when you say you restarted the program, you stop and restart the service in services.msc? The only thing I could suggest is to stop the service, move all the project and config files into a different folder, restart the .exe and set up the internet connection settings again. Then put all the project files back in the folder, except the old config file. Kinda like doing a reinstall without losing your project in progress. Can't think what else to suggest at this stage.

Lol, I update every 24 hours. Recently it's been about midnight UK time, and it will be today as well. Try and be patient, I have been spending 10-20 minutes every day since the 26th August doing it, rest assured it will be done within 6 hours or so.

I just set my computer up to start folding. It's only a P4 3.2Ghz with 512 ram, but it will sit here running on its own for 20 out of 24 hours everly day, and those other 4 hours are just forum running. So every little bit helps, Can't wait to go C2D.

How long should it take me to complete 1 unit with my computer specs?

I would say about 3 days(ish) running non stop. It also just depends on the work assigned to your computer.

Anywhere from 20 hours to 10 days. It all depends on which one you get.

yeah, I'm mostly through one already.

New question: Is there a beta FAH for Windows Vista? I just got it installed, and looked on the site and there isn't anything listed. So....I figured I'd come ask here. Can I use a version designed for XP?

Yes just use the Windows XP version. Works fine for me on Windows Vista Pre-RC1. Looking forward to seeing you with us soon.

I would download the latest version from the website:

http://folding.stanford.edu/download.html

I would uninstall the old one and install the new one. It could be that the old one is trying to connect to a server which no longer exists.
