I have had this problem before on another rig. I re-installed Win 7 and everything was fine. I just don't want to do that know that the rig is folding.

With my Zeon 3570 and Asus gene II MB, if set my memory in the bios to 1600 I only get 4GB in Win Vista 64. If set it to 1333 I get 6GB.

Guys,

Anyway to fold -bigadv WU without using linux?? I cant seem to get to enter any proxy info in the linux guest on VMware and thus I am not able to receive WU. As of now my i7 is folding -smp WU..but the ppd is very low. But something is better than nothing for our team in the chimp challenge!!

Appreciate your help!!

Nope, the only way to run -bigadv is with Linux, either in a VM or natively :( :ohwell:

Guys, I just was pointed out by a member that I was crunching under the wrong username

How can I change that now or do I have to uninstall and install again?

My ATI card is waiting for work, so maybe it's the ATI servers. Which could be bad as it's the middle of the night at Stanford.
