Ultimate Guide To Folding@home

:o Anyone know whats happened?

My folding at home icon has disappeared out of the system tray...now I am not sure how to pause the work ....this happened before after running another program and it only returned after rebooting.....which I might add I do not want to do...yet. In the task manager it appears to be folding merrily away.... :)
 
I think I'll just pause my hard earned little weeny WU until the server comes back up.
If I'm gonna get stuck with these damn Tinker units at least I want credit for them.

Lamsey...last I looked I was still 1000 points ahead of you.
I believe that I can mosey along in this lane for a while longer before you are inconvenienced. :P

i did not know if it was spammed in the worlds....sorry...

:frusty:
 
That sucks I checked the team stats and got the same results as you all the stuff done is gone. The units complete seem to have been wiped from the user stats too. Its really weird.

Nothing on the F@H homepage about it either.


I almost always notice the size of the units I get because whenever I leave my computer I open the display and put it full screen.

Also I read on page 28 about making F@H a process, would this work to spike public computers to run this application automatically on windows start? I've got access to at least 10 computers that run non stop, with little to no process power used for 90% of the time. I doubt the owners would submit to this willingly, so I'd just spike them to run as a process that runs in the backroung without making itself known... What better way to put all that processing power to work than to use it for such a great cause!

Don't do it. It's never a good enough cause to steal someone elses CPU power. It's a good enough cause to keep this honest.

I must say i did not read all of it yet but i am working on it as we speak. ;)

The cause speaks for itself..

I'm happy to be of any kind of help.

It was just a thought.

What sort of crash is it? BSOD, reboot or just freeze?

I used to find that my system would just freeze when running F@H, until I raised Vcore. Other than that it was usually alright, except if it got fairly hot after about an hour of game playing, and then the same thing would happen. Cured that problem too.

Freeze in both F@H cases. It was frozen from when I left uni until I got home (I was checking the PC using VNC in uni)

I don't really want to up the Vcore, running 46 degrees c at full load at the moment (Athlon 2700+, aluminium HS), I might give it a try if I get more instability problems though, cheers :)

btw i noe y bigdawgfox has so many WUs he went to his school..

Wrong, if that was the case, it would be saying more than just 1 active processor in Bigdawg's profile.

He has so many WU's because he overclocked unstably, and was bouncing WU's instead of completing them, they finish one frame, and fail and send in the work to the server, this, a WU is done, but no points are recieved, and a new WU is downloaded.
 
I've noticed that F@H does some very strange things with the system tray. If you click on it to see the display it often screws up all the tooltips. I assume it is somehow messing up the handles (what windows uses to identify resources) so you get the tooltip associated to a different prog.

It is probable that when your other prog has closed, it has sent a message to windows asking for it's icon to be removed from the system tray. But if the handles are messed up it is likely that it has inadvertently asked for a different icon to be removed, in this case the F@H icon. Subsequently, windows notices that the owner of the correct icon has gone away, so windows removes that icon too.

Can't be sure this is what is happening, but it is a reasonable guess.

No need to reboot, simply stop the task from within task manager then start it again from your start menu (presumably it is in Programs/Startup).
