Ultimate Guide To Folding@home

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).
 
I can't believe how many inactive members there are. :cry:

Don't know if this is a good idea...no one will ever catch lynx or virtual...

so...why not start a new team for members that have only one CPU ? :D

But you've been inactive since: 11.13.05

edit: also what does everyone think about a team name change? FST F@H or something like that?

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.

Slinger,

Especially when you're folding Gromacs your CPU-temp can go up quite a bit.
For me this was a serious problem as I'm addicted to "silent computing" too, having a low airflow rig etc.

When you fold (and you should when you have your rig running anyway), keep an eye on those temps.

EDIT:

Motherboard Monitor is fine freeware to keep an eye on your CPU and HDs.
Regard the 65 degrees Celsius mark for your CPU as a border you shouldn't cross.

Han.

yeah i've dropped down from 3 full time and one as used to one full time an done as used,
as i've just moved out into my own flat, and saving electicity on my laptop and the noise of them as they are in my room,

even a littlelink up the top would be nice, next to post counts and members ranks

so rookie if your reading this. :rolleyes:
Click to expand...
i dont even think rookie has ever come in here....

we should do 2 things...

1. make a thread on lounge linking here and tell them to join
2. make a thread in everything related to board about the link beside the post count..

At the top of the list on the stats-page you'll find some cheaters using more than 1 CPU.
Click to expand...
just coz ive got more than one pc doesnt mean im a cheater. :edit: we seem to be slowing down a bit now, we need more folders. :D

i think 7th should put a subcontent on the main page. get more people in. since we are higher ranked mor epeople will be interesed i think.

go team 34905
 
I have read over most of the stuff on F@H that I could find on here. This is what i put in to target line after the rest of the stuff
"C:\Program Files\Folding@Home\winfah.exe" -advmethods -forceSSE
