This can happen if the folding@home software is installed twice, or if the software is conflicting with another process running.
You can check Task Manager to see what the other process is - open it up, go to the processes tab, click View - select columns, and check the box for PID.
See what process has a PID of 216.

There are ways around this, you can restart the client manually but it may cause problems.  Better to try and resolve the conflict if possible.

OK, well it looks from that screenshot as if the F@H client is running (fahcore_78.exe with PID 584).
