Just use the SMP client. It is easier and helps the cause more, plus it gives you more points per WU.

smp dopesnt work for me...that why i try to run 2 instances

does anyone know how to fix the smp client?

 

[Solaris17]

OK, I found out that to do. You need two F@H folders, and two F@H .exes. Make shortcuts of both to your desktop, and configure them both independantly (you'll need to go and change the machine ID. They both cant be 1, it's like trying to have 2 wtf.txt files in the same folder. Use 1 and 2). Then fold. X2.

kk thnx

After the SMP install navigate to the folder C:\Program Files\Folding at home SMP etc...


and double click the install.bat file, follow the instructions.


Then your shuld be able to double click the fah.exe file to launch it. You will need to fill in the username, team and other information.


Finally browse to your services, find the folding at home service and right click and change its logon rights, your username and password, click apply, and ok.



If it will not launch as a service you can always add it into your startup folder.

Am about to start folding again on this rig and the downstairs one, and I might see about askign the school to fold as well, since the IT teacher likes me. I can spare my games running a bit slower, it's for a great cause.

It doesn't affect computing if you set it up for low priotity. It just takes whatever is available, if something else wants/needs CPU power, that something else gets it first.

 

[Jess Stingray]

Not here lol. I'm going to see about fixing my old rigs up to get them folding.

 

[hat]

Then you didn't do it right. Noob.

Update on my folding:
I have 2 instances of F@H running on the system in my sig. Large work units and advmethods allowed.
One instance on the 500MHz Celery 2/ 256MB RAM. Large work units prohibited, advmethods allowed.
One instance on my grand's 500MHz PIII w/ 384MB RAM. Large work units prohibited, advmethods allowed. (I got it to work!!)

 

[Jess Stingray]

Interesting... I pwn you all on PPD.

 

[Steevo]

ETA? Estimated Time of Apeshit?


A friend coded a widget for the Vista sidebar that shows some interesting stuff. However, Vista sucks, so moot point.

 

[Jess Stingray]

ETA = Estimated Time of Arrival (at their servers)

Inetresting though...

We are drawing closer to our slow time, and as soon as that hits I have more PC upgrades.

 

[Solaris17]

help i want smp

 

[Jess Stingray]

How much memory did you assign to the client?

 

[Solaris17]

all my ram

 

[Jess Stingray]

In that case, the SMP servers are overloaded. Did you run install.bat?

 

[Solaris17]

yup but it says it cant connect to solaris17(my account) or SKYNET(my rig) so i tried no password cause i dont have one on my system so i just hit enter and it was like no i dont like it when theirs no password....and whats worse is i cant fix that because after failing at install.bat i just ran fah and it asked if i wanted to make it a service i was like ya(so i could change the log in info....so i make it start w/ windows ok. then it fails natrually so i reboot so i can change the privlages of the servvice only to see it isnt their..wtf?

 

[newtekie1]

To get the SMP client to get work units you need to configure it correctly, don't follow the first post in this thread, it is wrong.

That is how it needs to be setup(with your username of course, but you can use mine if you like ). You have to accept big work units and you have to accept advanced work units.

 

[Jess Stingray]

That's where you went wrong Solaris. At the minute, it won't work properly if you set it up as a service.

 

[newtekie1]

And you have to have a password for the SMP client to work.

 

[Jess Stingray]

Yeah, it wont work configured as a service, or without a password. Uncle Fungus told me. Also, Steevo, I notice you registered on the official boards.

 

[Solaris17]

well it kinda worked i got a core so wait i need to setup a passwork to get it to work for like my account?

 

[Jess Stingray]

Congrats Solaris, you are now running your first SMP WU. I recommend this tool to monitor it: FahMon
