Lets see how it handles Ubuntu7.10. With CompizFusion running I had to knock down the amount of RAM available to FAH. (Maybe I can finally fully return to FAH!)

With the TMack on a short hiatus, take full advantage of "no-drafting" and pull ahead.

Am thinking of buying another dual core laptop, LOL. But what I want to know is how you and TMack get such scores??
I run 4 cores at 80%, 24/7, and still only just keep my nose in front. :thumbsup:

Rowal5555,

I'm actually only running one duo core just now. Have other work that takes up all the cpu time on my other two little off line systems. Crypto thingies.

I just keep getting assigned those larger tasks. And have actually lost 6 or 7 now with no credit for them.

I too will be adding to the stable of race horses.... he he, in the near future.

BTW - anyone watching the radar? Tripflex is folding very hard now. Beware!

Fold On friends!!!

Greetings! I just registered here a couple days ago, but as a 9-month veteran of the Mozillazine Firefox Support forum I've seen the "Fold for" invite in several members' sigs. Well, tonight I decided I had procrastinated long enough and installed the "Windows 2000/XP/Vista Graphical client 5.03."

I'm not off to a very good start. First, the "Configure" box cuts off the bottom and right side, and I can't click & drag to see it all. Second, and the scary part, is that twice I've clicked "Display" only to enjoy everyone's favorite, the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH!

I don't know if the problem is that my poor 7-year old lappy just isn't up to the job, or if it's something else.

Dell Latitude C600 /PentIII/1.0Ghz/10Gb/256Mb/WinXProSP2/FF2009&IE6
Zone Alarm Free / avast! 4.7 Free / Assorted Freeware 'Cocktail'
Verizon 'low speed' (768) DSL through Westell 327W wireless router

Anyone have any advice, or am I asking too much of this tired old box?

Thanks, Keith Warner :thumbsup:

BTW, the tray icon has read (14/5000) for the last three hours.

Hi Keith

A very warm welcome to Team 38444 and thanks for joining.

I don't know what is causing your problems, so at this stage I would suggest that you remove F@H via Add/Remove programs and reinstall it. When you have done that, the Configure box should work properly, and if so, come back and we will run thru a light configuration which should work for you.

Good luck. Cheers
