I've had 3 users call/email me today. All 3 had the same problem. "Can not connect".

I'd already read about some problems with the MS update for the media "flaw", so the first question I asked was...did you get an update from MS this am? All 3 said yes.

Did anything else get changed? No. Let's verify. Go through the settings, look at add/remove programs, etc, and finally look at System Restore. The only non-check point restore ponit in the last 2 weeks is...Software Update Service 2.0 ...that's MS updater.

Rolled them back, and all are connected, once again.

I, personally, never do updates/patch's till they been out a while. And then, I test them on mule first.

In case anyone is having a problem with this, there is an easy workaround, involving un-registering the dll, which will give you some protection.

:O)

You know, my automatic updater informed me this morning that it wanted to update. I knew it was the WMF update, and I decided to wait until I heard from others how the patch was working. Thanks for your post. I'll wait and update later.

[Malsua]

Just fwiw Clara, I updated or allowed to update about 100pcs today without issue.

Your mileage may vary of course.

I still find that FAHstats is doing a better job of tracking individual team members and making more accurate predictions although it seems to partially ignore upper levels of "deadwood".

[Clara Lou]

Thanks for your input. (Honestly, my computer never has a problem with MS updates. I'm just concerned that they hurried this WMF patch.)

RE; 20 Top producers...

I lost a 241 pointer last night/early AM. Don't know how or why. When I went to bed it was 12 hours from completion. When I got up 6 hours later, I had a new one that had just started. No point change, so I must've lost it.

Regina_Plumm lost a 206 pointer due to the MS update. Tonystransportation couldn't connect and lost a few, as well.
Patricia_Bell couldn't connect as well, but she has C.R.S., so we'll never know. LOL

:O)

Malsua: Do you have the patch as a standalone?

Malsua: Do you have the patch as a standalone?

No, various stages of autoupdate, completely auto, wait to install and one that does nothing until you start it. Some(half a dozen machines I use personally) that used windows update. The vast bulk were completely automatic.

Better rankings (IMHO):

Last 7 days

My power supply is fritzing!!

My machine is off. This is Marie Antoinette, posting on my husband's machine. I'm 97% sure it's the power supply. Unfortunately, I'm familiar with that burning electrical wire smell. :(

So I have my WU over half done but can't turn on my machine. And now I have to order a new PS.

sigh...

[Malsua]

>>My power supply is fritzing!!<<

Ugh. I suggest getting an Antec. I've bought hundreds of cases/ps for 15 years or so, never had an Antec fail.

as an addendum, I've had plenty of offbrand powersupply fans fail.

[Senator Bedfellow]

"Marie Antoinette" + "Big Giant Head"? Seems incongruous somehow - was "Louis XVI" not available? Didn't Marie Antoinette lose her (big? giant?) head? ;)

[BreitbartSentMe]

Ok, I had finally gotten my first work unit downloaded, and it processed over the last couple of days. It finished, and saved the work, but I don't seem to be able to load the finished unit back to the server, and/or download the next core.

I did have a message when I got home from my virus software warning me that Folding@home was trying to access the internet, and I selected to Always Allow it, but that has not solved the problem. I've restarted several times, and even did a system restore to yesterday's checkpoint to see if it was the new windows update that screwed it up.

Here's some pertinent messages from the log:
[02:37:21] + Attempting to send results
[02:37:21] - Couldn't send HTTP request to server
[02:37:21] + Could not connect to Work Server (results)

[02:37:26] - Error: HTTP GET returned error code 0
[02:37:26] + Error: Could not download core
[02:37:26] + Core download error (#3), waiting before retry...

Any ideas???
