Cpu=P4 2,5
Errr, dumb question: I've got a laptop so I won't let it on 24/7 (more like 16 hours a day) because I don't want it to overheat... Is that bad?
In Advanced, you can set the CPU Usage Percent. Turn it down a little if you find your laptop is overheating.
But if it doesn't overheat running 16 hours/day I see no reason why it would if you run 24/7.
Edit: BTW, welcome on board.

It happens some times if the server is down for maintenance. As long as you can get another WU you don't have firewall problems. The completed WU will go eventually.Originally posted by ck-uk@3 April 2004 - 11:19

There are also many other distributed computing porjects like seti@home (involved in the analysis of signals picked up from space) and fightaids@home.
I wonder the same thing :wacko:
I was hoping to become the nr 1 in 1.5 year . Now i can forget that :frusty:
I don't know what's happening recently, but FAH is screwing my machines.
I did a full reinstall of XP on my newest machine, now it usually hangs after a few minutes with FAH. It isn't overclocked or anything. If I start FAH and then stop it, it still hangs after a while. But if I never start FAH then it doesn't hang.
My old machine has run for 2 years without hanging. I installed Linux on it the day before yesterday. If I run FAH it hangs within an hour, even if FAH has been cancelled. Without running FAH, it has been up for 30 hours.
Something has obviously happened with the type of projects I am currently receiving (which may have changed because of the reinstallation?), because I never had hanging problems before. I'll keep trying new projects occasionally, but until these problems go away, sadly, I can no longer commit my machines permanently.

Ok, from what I can tell, I have 2 processors. This is what the everest program tells me anyway.
I would like to set up 2 instances of the console version of FAH but cannot figure it out. This is what FAH says:
**Yes, you can. Additional processors must run the console version
(with the "-local" command-line argument if run on Windows).
First, make additional directories for each processor and copy
the FAH Console executable file into each. Then configure them
with the -config switch, filling in settings for each.
It is very important to make sure that under the "Advanced Settings"
option each copy is given a unique machine ID (from 1 to 8).
The first copy will default to a machine ID of 1, so additional
copies should be given IDs of 2, 3, 4, etc. Each may then be run
out of their installed directory, using the -local switch on windows.**
Anyone one else do this? I cannot figure out how to name each version. Where is the config switch? Where is the advanced settings in the console version? If you know how to make this possible for an idiot like me I would greatly appreciate it.
Also, does it matter where I make the separate directories? Or can I make them both in the folding@home folder?
Thanks
