Folding@Home: CF Official Discussion Thread

Jet said:
ADE, are you trying to use the Console version or the GUI? The only way that you can fold with both cores is to use the Console version. During set-up, you need to go down through the settings, and when it comes up for "change advanced settings", enter yes. The very last entry is for the ID number. With folding and dual core systems, one client has to be ID#1 and the other ID#2.

Example: I have 3 clients on my computer. Even though they aren't running at the same time, they all have to have different ID numbers. My GPU Client is #1, my main CPU client is #2, and my backup CPU Client is #3.

And Jan, my fan seems to just have been temporarily squealing. Maybe because of how cold it was in my room: 6.9C :)

I'm using the one you linked to me. the very top in the list. I know thats not the one to use, but in the mean time until I can figure out how to use the other one, I'll have this one working. How do I get to the advanced settings, when I use cmd it never gets me anywhere! That's the problem!
 
That is the GUI version. Either you switch to the console version, or you just have one client running.
 
I'm in 61st now. :) I just went up 10 places in 1 and 1/2 days! WOO HOO!....I bet I could double that is i could figure out the console..... :(
 
So what aren't you figuring out? The easiest way to adjust the console is to delete the old one and start it over again. There's another way if you really want:

Create a shortcut for the client, and then add -config after the command line, after the parenthesis.
 
Its just the fact the my cmd thing is stupid and cant do squat for jack! I know I'm doing it right, i have to be! I think its just the darn thing wont work. oh well :(
 
Heh, indeed, I am Jet's cousin that has started to fold, but just haven't checked the thread in awhile.

I have two P4's folding 24/7 at work, and my home laptop is also folding both cores 24/7 now.

Im 72nd on the list, the current protein I'm folding at home is taking quite awhile, at a cool 20,000,000 steps. 0.o
 
Yes, Jet thats just dandy, but as I have said, I cant even get there. When doing the 1st step it wont except my directory and stuff. If I could get as far as you did I wouldn't be needing help! :(
 
????what are you talking about? The steps say, - Go to start> (bottom left) Run>type "cmd"> put the directory of your 1st folder, then what you got up in the picture should be what you get, BUT It never accepts my directory!
 
So, where is the file you downloaded? Put that in a folder (where you want to keep it), and then double click on it.
 
Create a shortcut for the client, right click the shortcut, then properties, then in the target, after the parenthesis, put " -config " (minus the quotes)
