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 just got a WU with 2500 in it! thats a biggie....im at 525/2500 :P
also, will a faster CPU work these out faster? i currently run p4 1.4ghz, and in 2 days ill be running p4 3.2ghz.
 
the points are more uniform now, so works out better for us probably, at the end of the day, everything is the same for everyone, so. :D

also the tinkers are worth a hell of alot more now. :D

Just to show you what we're doing is child's play. :unsure:

It makes me humble.
Over at Sudhian.com a guy named MarkF build a 'Folding Farm'.
A rack totally filled with stripped boards, with a single goal: Folding.
Every floor in this rack carries 2 boards.

(Pics are shamelessly nicked from Sudhian)

A WU is a work Unit. You have a tinker work unit and it will take you up to 4 days to complete. After you have completed it, it will be uploaded to the server and after a short time your name will appear among the team members names on the team page here http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py...e&teamnum=34905 Your score will be added to the team's score. Each work unit that you complete will be added to your name. Please read the guide at the beginning of this thread for more information... oh and welcome and thanks for joining our team!!! :)
