[b] Has anyone tryed running this as a service in win nt/2k/xp?

Anyways here are some direction on how to do it. It seems to work for me. Don't blame me if your comp blows up or something if this does something weird.

First make sure the folding@home Client is properly setup.

Then download the consol version of the client and this. Make sure the consol client is working properly first (run it first).

1. Then make a folder somewhere on your hard drive e.g

they are probably tinkers, they'll take w hile but you'll get quite a bit of points ofr them.

I was looking over the team statistics, What I was wondering about is the pts. I see there is a page that you can goto to see what the worth of a package you are doing. How do you get these pts is it after you are done the package or every so offten? Im not really worried about the pts but it would be kool to see how I stack up against other ppl.

One last thing to ask, then I will stop asking so questions.

I was think about how to get my pc fold faster. I thought about running F@H in safemode, So I did. The #'s are hard to read and I only did this for a hour but it seemed to be a bit faster. Could anyone else see if this could work or not.

we were ranked about 170th last nite, due to a corrupt database and losing all previous WU, the database is offline of maintanaice. but u can still send completed wu and get new ones, its currently 3am in the morning there, so i aint expecting it to be back up soon. Link

edit: but when it does, make sure all your wu are showing, expecially your most recent ones, from about 6pm(gmt) yesterday.

edit2: i dont think ive had a tinker in weeks on at least 2 of my machines, havent looked at the other one yet. there mostly 500 and 250 ones.

Twice now since I've been using F@H, it's crashed taking hours of CPU time with it. The first time I lost about 71% of a work unit, due to a communications error with the server:

"[06:21:45] Completed 355000 out of 500000 steps (71)
[06:33:02] CoreStatus = 1 (1)
[06:33:02] Client-core communications error: ERROR 0x1

[06:33:27] + Couldn't get work instructions.
[06:33:27] - Error: Attempt #1 to get work failed, and no other work to do.
Waiting before retry."

Which prompted me to stop using it. I retried it the other day, got one WU completed. My PC crashed again today, and no surprise, F@H lost its WU again:

"[16:33:30] Completed 480000 out of 500000 steps (96)"
