That brilliant, welcome to the team! If using the graphical client, you'll find the estimates to be a little bit off. Scratch that. A lot off. It takes a while to settle down to a realistic number, rest assured, it definately won't take 416 days!

It'll decrease more and more as it begins working, I've had one say 2 years before.

 

[MyCattMaxx]

Wait for an hour then check!

You definitely could and we would appreciate it. Folding @ 50% of CPU is fine too. Even a bit can help.

will consider it, i'll have to keep an eye on the temps though, its a completely silent rig(inc psu). With only in 120mm fan, so it cant cool its self v well (and it's downclocked to keep temps in check)
Have the wifes old lappy here somewhere will add that after my exam on Wednesday.

 

[Sacrinyellow5]

Its on 10 days now.
To complete a WW does the rig need to be on for the whole time or will it resume when the comp is turned back on? I'm just a bit conserned, because I have a cat who like to bite computer cables in the night when I am asleep.

 

[MyCattMaxx]

It will restart when you boot unless you told it not to!

 

[Sacrinyellow5]

Thanks Maxx.

Where do you configure that at?

 

[MyCattMaxx]

I run graphical not console which do you have?

 

[Sacrinyellow5]

It's a graphical version, running on Win2000.

 

[Jet]

Right click the icon, and click "configure"

 

[Sacrinyellow5]

I got that far jet, but what do I set, so the file will continue when I turn the comp back on?
Thanks again,

Thanks again,

The file (WU) continues after restart from when it finished. The program saves data in checkpoints so you do not have to worry. Good luck and nice to see you on the team.

If you want it to start automatically every time you start windows, put a shortcut in the startup folder in the start menu.

Mine keeps having errors downloading new cores, damnit. I've lost I'd say ~48 hours of folding time because of it. And I'm 30 points behind Rambo! Bah!

I think I'm just going to do the dreaded reinstall of Windows XP tonight on my primary drive and unplug the Vista drive again. Eh, it works fine but I can wait for retail of it.
