Any ideas on how to fix this/repair it without having to reinstall every time? -------------------- - John

Which F@H version are you using and what OS?
I have both Vista and XP home. I only use the 5.3 console with the Vista as it doesn't like the other versions. Still sometimes get an error that says that F@H has to close. I close it and restart it without having to D/L again. The XP system I'm still running on the GUI 5.4v only because I want to show others here the gambit. I do get some D/L errors if I'm taking on a new core. But not often. Most of the errors I get are on uploading the finished WU's. And I charge that off to an overloaded Stanford server? I only upload now between 30 minutes past the hour up to the hour. Never from 1 minute past the hour to 30 minutes past. Sounds stupid, but it normally works for me. -------------------- |

Try running with the -verbosity 9 flag. It might provide the info you need. Also, as KY suggested, some of the Stanford servers have issues. The Pande team or forum admins will respond to posted logs in the F@H forum: http://foldingforum.org/index.php
Oddly enough, even on dialup I rarely have d/l or u/l problems. <shrug> -------------------- |

It would appear that I'm using an outdated version (5.03) which is interesting since I downloaded it from their site - must've read something wrong!
 I'm using 64 bit Vista BTW - gonna head off and look for more recent versions...... -------------------- - John

Ah - 64 bit Vista. I don't know what you are talking about there Willis, and have no experience with the 64 bits...

Hi Yano, nice to meet you!
Not me, but from what I've read, they're providing the fastest turnaround on WUs as well as handling the big ones. This post has been edited by Dialer: Jan 17 2008, 11:46 PM -------------------- |

Well done Johannes. Could do with a few of those.
Went home for a few hours on Sunday to collect my repaired monitor and saw a nice little Acer Aspire, so have done what I threatened to do, LOL, and walked out with it. Set up 2 more F@H Consoles last night and it is rocketing thru' them. Haven't had a chance to view results lately as this HotSpot is astronomically expensive. Have spent over $NZ130 since Christmas, but the availability is marvellous. Cheers to All, Fold on friends. -------------------- |

lol, the bigger ones seem to have smaller frames. I am proceeding faster than anticipated. I only have my desk setup to fold, but will format this system and my sisters old laptop soon and put F@H then on both machines.

Rowal5555 - your systems are folding above the 3,000 points level every seven days.
As of today you were at 3,374 for the last seven days and total at 77,874!!! You're double folding against most of the rest of us. -------------------- |

Just an FYI - I never got around to fixing F@H. But I did upgrade to the latest refresh of the Vista SP1 RC and, all of a sudden, F@H is working again! I think that it was one of the prerequisite fixes (before the actual SP1) that did it for me - because it also fixed a number of my networking issues.

Thanks KY. Appreciate it. Am down to dialup speeds at the moment so much swearing. Have made my thoughts clear to the powers that be. LOL.
Good to hear you are up and running again John. My laptops are Home Basic and Home Premium and don't seem to have a problem. Have read that installing F@H in Vista Program Files can cause hiccups, so have done mine in a Documents Folder. FOLD ON. -------------------- |

I heard that Sony is looking to drop the prices on the PS3 another 100 dollar here in April. If they get low enough I'm actually thinking about buying one primarily for F@H, oh and games.
