Folding@Home: CF Official Discussion Thread

The graphical version, although it was still happening when the program was minimized and not actively drawing any of the simulations...
 
Running it minimized wont keep it from interfering with some games, which may become unstable. The command line version is best if you want to fold on a machine also used for gaming.
 
It wasn't only when I was doing gaming, although that was the majority of the time, it happened also when I was watching videos or doing any other fairly visual/graphical things...

It's possible that anything that makes use of a hardware overlay could pose a problem too. You could try disabling the video overlay in the graphics control panel, and see whether that makes any difference.
 
Update again ;)

Date of last work unit 2006-09-26 13:14:49
Active CPUs within 50 days 49
Team Id 44358
Grand Score 162761 (certificate)
Work Unit Count 845 (certificate)
Team Ranking (incl. aggregate) 1808 of 45607

For laughs, March 29th stats:

Date of last work unit 2006-03-29 20:11:31
Active CPUs within 50 days 13
Team Id 44358
Grand Score 3800 (certificate)
Work Unit Count 22 (certificate)
Team Ranking (incl. aggregate) 9611 of 43457

We are heading to get 1000 WUs which is a huge step :) Go go COFO!
Funny compared to stats 6 months ago, when we had 22 WUs.

JAN :D

I don't think that could be much clearer. And yes, the program downloads some work, simulates it, then sends it back. Anything else you're not clear on?

Was it the logo you were talking about? Because the graphs and most of the instructional pics are hosted with me, I just want to make sure it's not a screw up on my part with the updating... :P

And that's great to hear Archangel. Any problems with setting it up, and we'll be glad to help. :)
 
I did a WU, but then wasn't connected when it finished. When I got back on the internet, it didn't send the results, so I don't have my points. Is there a way to still get them? I am using the console version.

I take it you've trawled through the log files to confirm the results haven't been sent? In my experience the program doesn't start downloading the next work unit until the results have successfully been sent off...

Could you attach your latest log file? I'd really like to see what it says, I'm stumped as to a possible reason at the moment.

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. :cool:
 
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.
