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.
 
1. What is FAH?
FAH is a distributed computing project, the purpose of which is to learn how proteins fold and misfold. By breaking down the process by which proteins are created we can find out what causes them to miscreate or misfold. The hope is that this will lead to future research that can help scientists come up with better treatments/cures for many of todays common ailments. But the most important part of the project is putting together an effective model of how to fold and unfold proteins with supercomputer power.

  • Athlon XP 2600+ with 1024MB DDR333, running 24/7 (my PC, mild constant usage plus occasional bursts of high usage ie. games)
  • Athlon XP 1700+ with 256MB DDR266, running 24/7 (mum and dad's PC, zero usage a lot of the time with occasional bouts of mild usage)
  • Celeron-M 1.13GHz with 256MB PC133, running most of the time at 66% (my laptop, sometimes off for several hours if I'm taking it into uni, plus I limit it to 66% throttle as I don't want to stress it too much)
 
What's going on here?

If you look at the 24hr points avge, in most cases it is the weekly points divided by 7. But not always.

Livy: 61=395/6.5
Lamsey: 55=339/6
Dr Spud: 15=72/5
VB1234: 66=397/6
SummerLinda: 20=66/3

I realise that the stats are new and will probably correct themselves once they've been going a little longer, but can anyone explain these anomolies?

There's no point in doing that at all - the process priority is automatically set to low so it will never harm your gaming performance. The folding program never uses CPU cycles if there is another program needing them. It also uses at most 10MB of RAM, so it's not going to clog up your memory either.

Oh right. Ok, i'll run it all the time then. ;)

(That reminds me Lamsey, i'm owing you HW2, will sort it out soon - promise :) )
