Folding on a Dual or Quad core processor (or a server motherboard with two Single, Dual, or Quad core processors installed)
(Windows SMP Client)
First off, make sure you have Microsoft .NET 2.0 installed (or later version).
Then, download the Windows SMP client from
http://folding.stanford.edu/download.html. It is the 6th link down on the list; it is called
Windows 2000/XP/Vista SMP client console version. Once downloaded, double click on the file you downloaded and run the setup. It is pretty straightforward, just continue to click next, and then finish. Once done, go to the folder where you installed the SMP Client. Look for the "install.bat" file located there.
Note: You MUST have a password for your user in order to install this program. A blank password will not work
Double click the install.bat file.
A box may pop up and ask if it should block this program; make sure to select allow. Enter first your Windows username, your password, and then confirm your password.
Finally, double click the fah.exe file:
A DOS window will pop up and ask you these questions:
User name [Anonymous]? Your ComputerForum Username
Team Number [0]? 44358
Launch automatically at machine startup, installing this as a service (yes/no) [no]? no
Use Internet Explorer Settings (no/yes) [no]? yes
Use proxy (yes/no) [no]? no
Allow receipt of work assignments and return of work results greater than
5MB in size (such work units may have large memory demands) (no/yes) [no]? yes
Change advanced options (yes/no) [no]? no
Run the client; if you have any problems, post them up in this thread!
