You can't make a shortcut to your fah.exe file and put that in your startup folder? That always worked for me..

1. I made a short-cut of the exe file and placed it in start-up folder...nothing.

2. Copied the exe file and placed in start-up folder...nothing

3. About 20 Google searches always leads me to Windows Defender...made sure it was good in there. It is listed as a start program.

4. Made sure CCleaner is good...it is listed as a start program.

5. Norton has it listed as a start program...

I have been working on this for 3 days now...no luck what so ever. I'll just make short-cut icons the size of baseballs on the desktops...that way they have to see them and start it:D
 
Acht.

WU at 94%, but had to stop the client due to taking my laptop to class. F@h trashed it when I started it back up this afternoon.

/rant.
 
Scout: The first pic shows it as a shortcut. Did you copy the exe?

Easier way: Drag the icon on the Start menu to the startup folder. Then you can create another one to put back into the f@h folder if you want.

No folding for me for a few days, I don't have a cpu,
But not to worry, new core i7 and 8 gigs of dominator ddr 3 on the way.

Guys, lets ramp up again--I know we're in the process of upgrading, but we need to keep it up. Thanks to Bodaggit23 for getting us the points on the i7, and cudenver and I will be ramping up in a few days with our i7s.

Everyone counts here--whether you're SMP, GPU, i7 WU, or just a single CPU client, we need you guys to keep running your clients--whatever it takes! If you're running into issues, post them here--I'll be glad to help/research as much as I can so you can get your processor online!

Just joined the team, but I've only got an XP machine with a 2.8Ghz Celeron to run it on. I'd like to help a bit more, but my laptop can't stay on all the time.

I have some older computers that meet the 450Mhz listed on the F@H site, but I'm skeptical as to weather or not they'll actually meet deadlines...they're a 533Mhz PIII and a 733Mhz Celeron, both running Ubuntu 9.10. What do you guys think?

I'm ramping up right now--a few days of the standard SMP Client (~10k PPD), and then on to the bigadvs. Let's break 300 by Christmas!

10,000 ppd just your cpu? The standard units are only 1920 points and took me about 3 days to complete.

GPU is missing from your sig.

Yep--I just have an old X800 in it that I had lying around. 10k is easy on an i7--with the bigadv work units you can hit 20k+. For the 1920 pointers, my average time per percent is 2:50.

I just wasn't aware you could get 10k ppd with the standard smp client.

My GTX 260 gets 6-8k ppd by itself.

10k would be right at the max overclock. Looking at my data, I'm not hitting that anymore as I'm at 3.8 right now instead of 4.0/4.2.
 
Bodaggit, how did you get your VM PPD to display in Fahmon or whatnot?

EDIT: Got it!

Just an update--started the bigadv units today and am getting 30:12 TPF (@4.0Ghz) which comes right over the day mark, not including upload/write time. This calculates out to nearly 29k PPD and 60k points per WU. Keep it up, CF! Especially those who have i7s--this is huge! Bodaggit and I will be pulling over half of CF's PPD--from only two i7 computers! (Bodaggit has some GPU in there as well, but a reasonable 20k for his CPU plus 29k for mine adds up!)

I'm going to try to get my overclock a bit higher. Not much, but closer to 3.6-3.8Ghz maybe until I get a new cooler.

I get about 38 minutes between percents, if that's what you're talking about (TPF?)
