On your custom GUI? What is your setup, and what GUI were you using? Style XP with some theme or something? Please explain more so we can help resolve this problem.

Im going to bookmark this thread, and check back daily to see if anyone else needs help.

Ok,

Now I added a second rig to the Folding-community,
this time folding for team 34905 !

This might be my only chance to kick Lamsey's ass....

I assume you've all checked the Team statistics, and noticed that Lamsey isn't leading by THAT much

does anyone know if its possible o choose what wu u download.

To some extend, yes.

In the config-screen you can choose:

Genome@Home
Folding@Home
or no preference.


When you choose Folding@home you get mostly (or all) tinkers without any switches.
Adding the "-advmethods" switch will get you mostly Gromacs (when available)

Then there is a possibility to join the 'beta-team'.
Then you'll get to test the newest WUs.

Perhaps it's possible to configure your firewall in such a way that your machine can't establish a connection with the server(s) that hand out the WUs you don't want.

I somehow doubt this info is usefull to you :P


Fold on B)

OK - I'll hook it up when I get back home........but is it possible to leave a cybercafe running it off 20 PC's? [/b]

If they aren't your PCs then don't do that. [/b][/quote]
not sure what's going on (in general) but OK

I'll use my own PC and check it out when I get back to the UK :)

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.

...that's not strictly true, my girlfriend (Dutch)

3 Dutch 13372 129


has ambushed my two computers and is contributing to an other folding@home team..so when I , sometime in the near future, in the holst of the night, change the team number back to 34905 and pray she doesn't notice ..then I would still be contributing to the team with multi processors... it just seemed a good idea. In the end every work unit that gets folded, goes to wards the good cause. It's just more fun when everyone is playing on an even playing field :) The spirit of competition...thought it might encourage a few sports to see if their computers have got what it takes...

:)

It's not the position you are in that's important...it's the fact that you're doing it...thats what's important!

This is great, the team is growing larger, every day... :)

edit: also what does everyone think about a team name change? FST F@H or something like that?
Click to expand...
As long as the team number doesn't change (and therefore the stats), I've no problem with a name change.

FST F@H seems a bit of a mouthful though, perhaps we can give that a bit more thought.
 
a tip here for anyone going to download a batch of timeless F@h tinker units. make sure you remove the -advmethods switch from the client when your run it to get the wu's or you will get a batch of the same WU, which are all the same, so will only get the credit for one.
