Folding@Home Computer Hope team

Which clients are you trying to run?

the smp.  Mpich or something like that one im pretty sure.  The one that works for 64bit

You have more points than me, so you probably know what you are doing with this stuff already.  I take it the program is connecting and folding, you just aren't finishing the work for points?  Not sure what would be causing that.

If you grabbed the 'high performance beta client' 6.23 for MPICH and installed it, be sure to grab the 6.24 'drop in binary' and toss that file into your install directory, replacing the original.  The guide on the F@H site has some steps to run through, if you haven't tried it already.  Rename the client to something simple like fah1.  Create a shortcut to it, open up properties on the shortcut, add -configonly to the target.  Run the shortcut, input all your settings you want.  Once it runs through options and closes, open the shortcut properties again, replace -configonly with -smp and start folding.

Ya ive did all that.  It just deletes the work sometimes for some reason

Can you post your F@H log file?  At least a portion where it deletes the work and starts up a new WU?

I'm posing your FAHlog at the FAH site to see if the forum members have a better idea of what is causing it.  At a glance, one thing caught my eye.

[16:42:51] - Ask before connecting: No
[16:42:51] - User name: computeruler (Team 67290)
[16:42:51] - User ID not found locally
[16:42:51] + Requesting User ID from server
[16:42:52] - Machine ID: 1

Did you not want to fold under your computerruler name anymore, or is it just missing from the config options by mistake?  Anyway, I'll get back to ya when I hear what the F@H forums have in the way of advice.

F@H forum responses.

"FILE IO error and c:\users\xxx leads me to suspect vista with uac (User Account Control) enabeld?  I could suggest reading the guide for the client... but that would be abit short wouldn't it.

Disable UAC is one, moving the client outside of users\ is the other option."

Not much to go off of.  Where did you install the client?  Otherwise you can try disabling uac (I know nothing about this, just googled it for vista here http://www.petri.co.il/disable_uac_in_windows_vista.htm

Ok, I will disable it

what about creating a shortcut to the client that runs it as an administrator? I imagine that would prevent any problems with UAC.

UAC is annoying anyways
