Is my Work unit lost? :(

[Two-eyes]

Hi there,

I've been working an a WU for a week or two (it was 53% done).  While trying to repair my computer because of ad-ware, I "fixed" an infected registry entry.  Now, my helper told me to close all windows before I do this, and I did... BUT the protein was still folding in the background.  When I rebooted a few lines were recorded in the log file, and a new protein was downloaded to start folding.  Does this mean, the  first one is lost??

Here are the log entries:

then come a lot of entries named "download" etc.

I hope this isn't the case, but my user page says that I don't have any points, so I don't think I was uploaded to Stanford U.

please help,

I am especially sad because the new WU has 1500k steps, while the old one had 300k. : - <

[Computer Hope Admin]

Is this still happening? A lot of times when unsuccessful it's often F@H's servers fault and not your own computers.

[Two-eyes]

no it's not.  Maybe it is their fault, or maybe it was because of the malware removal.  Any way, the 1500 protein is 28% done [although I think the 300 one was "complex" of something like that, but this isn't].

Thanks for yer help

if you lost the wu that was folding , and it downloaded a new one to start folding , its lost for good , this

happened to me 2/3 times when i closed done with the tower button , i learnt to close with the wall plug , it

effects the tower in a different way

umm...

EDIT to my post , i only shut down that way when the pc freezes , i have found no-other way to do it

my mistake 

[Two-eyes]

thanks guys
I also discovered that ending the process from task manager also loses the WU...

Again thanks.
