Ultimate Guide To Folding@home

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
 
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).
 
Anyone able to give me a 5 step guide to 'getting' gromacs.
I read that page but it makes no sense to me and isn't clear. Im not sure which .exe to make a shortcut as the one mentioned isn't in my folding@home folder ot startup folder.

Cheers ........
 
I'm installing it :D
but it seems that the setuppages are not the same as you posted maybe you have an older build?

How long does it take to do 1 part/section?
 
:01:

And I've still got over 300 points stuck in the collection server, waiting for the .143 server to be sorted out. I'm going to see if I can get another cpu on tomorrow. :whistling
 
Yep :P
At the top of the list on the stats-page you'll find some cheaters using more than 1 CPU.
Just click on the names on the stats-page to find out.

i also got my brother to join up as well

When you used your own name on that PC as well, you're a cheater too! :lol:
 
no, when i got my brother to sign up, he is using his own name, i just got him to use our team number. his name is AudioAlterations. once he finishes his first unit, youll see his name show up. were at 569. I dont think of it as cheating if its working toward a good thing. i like to see the whole team progress. im not that concerned with my own stats. B)

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.
