Folding@Home: CF Official Discussion Thread

Thanks, I am having issues getting it running for some reason. I am going to tinker but I want to get this goiong. Any links for easy setup?
 
Well, now when I went into the cmd line and tried to do the install.bat, it says unable to remove previous installation cannot install....wtf...

edit: i give up, lol, regular client it is...

You need to be logged into your Windows profile with a password. I only know how in Vista:)

In the search box...type in install.bat

Once you find the file for Folding @ Home...right click the install.bat file and select "run as administrator"

Once that runs and you see MPI is working twice...then close the CMD window.

Then you go to the actual .exe file for the client.

My .exe file installed as "fah-SMP-591" by default...yours might be the same.

Then just run the client

We have a Folder that is running as Anonymous I would like to see you get your points attached to your name:D

Please check your setup if you are Folding and make sure your name is entered.

Team page and look for your name

That would be me. lol. When I installed 7 the other night, I installed the GPU client and forgot to put in my username. Fortunately I remembered the team name first. See, I'm thinking team first. ;) :P

anyway, fixed.

Hey Ethan!

Are you running the SMP client on your CPU? You should be getting more points from your processor--more in the 1500-2500 range (my 2.53Ghz C2D gets around 2000 at full load).

I just checked. I had it set to using the lowest core priority. Hopefully that should fix it. Thanks.

EDIT: I am running the normal version. Downloading the SMP client now. :)

F@H core downloading error (#9)

This is becoming more of a hassle than I thought. I am considering just uninstalling them, damn it!

Any ideas on how to fix it?

Have patience, it's for a good cause :)

First, try closing the program, and and starting it back up. I got the same error and I just restarted the program and it worked after about 10 minutes. Sometimes the F@H servers are busy and what not. If that doesn't work just wait for it.
 
f@h is confusing me. Yesterday I did just under 3k points , but it says I only did 10 points :confused:

It has all of my WUs, but none of my points, any ideas?
 
Check this out...I was reading an old overclock.net forum post from late 2007 about Folding with Nvidia cards. A guy on there said it performs better when you actually downclock the cards. I had to try it.

OMG...I down clocked it and my PPD jumped almost 500 points and temps dropped about 10c! :eek:

I will continue testing this to make sure it's real and not some code error. I think it might be real...it only take me about a minute to complete 1% of a 353 point work unit. Before it would take about 1 minute and 20 seconds:eek:

I am getting some confusing results...my PPD jumps around a little while down clocked. I think it might just be an error.

I'll keep testing it and report back tonight.
 
Ya...I have been doing some testing today. It started last night...both my SMP and GPU clients started crashing. Could not even complete a work unit. I am getting all kinds of crazy results on PPD and clocks from my GPU.

I just uninstalled both clients and did a fresh complete install again. We'll see how it goes tonight and tomorrow.


***EDIT***

Over 40,000 Points in 24 hour average! Jumped 4 positions in the last 24 hours!

Let us roll :D
