My SMP doesn't like me, it won't revert back to it's checkpoints when I have to restart sometimes (so it starts over again). But I guess I can try it again...

vmware is another good option. Look back 20-30 pages, i put a link to a guide. VMware uses linux, and the core it uses isnt compatible with windows, but is much more effecient than the core windows uses. You get about twice the PPD over standard SMP.

I'm on W7, so I can't use it?

I noticed something strange when I reinstalled the simple CPU client, under:
C:\Users\x\AppData\Roaming\Folding@home-x86 <-- the files that used to exsist under that location are gone, maybe that's my problem?

Vmware? You can run vmware under 7...im running 7 myself and vmware folding. VMware folding is a virtual machine of linux.
 
Ok, I downloaded the VMware player like it said to do, and I'm getting an 'unknown error, check logs', Where's the logs? I can't find them for the life of me... :(

Nevermind, I just downloaded the earlier version and that worked......

I was doing some computer maintenance today and realized that Evga Precision no longer shows my temps. I read up on it and it seens to be an Nvidia problem with all 190. series drives...it cannot read the temp sensors.

I installed the 186.18 drivers again to see if the temps would come back. I was surprised to see the temps again and my PPD on a 353 work units jumped about 500 points.

I am going to stick with these for a while:D

I noticed that this morning--it seems like everyone's points are down, so I think the servers aren't running.
