Same here, locks up after each WU and won't resume.
Plus, the lap top runs so hot, afraid of burning it out...

So, I'm off for a while.

I run a cooling fan under my laptop. They are fairly inexpensive, I think I spent about $20 on the one I have. Hooks up through the USB port. My system seems to love it.

I know what you mean about running hot... I throttled the CPU usage down a bit and the temp seems to be normal.

What's strange is all the other places I go to via the wireless access work just fine... the darn thing just won't download a new WU during the last two weeks.

Occasionally, I'll have this problem with one of my machines. I delete the client.cfg file, and reconfigure the application, and everything runs great.

I suspect it refreshes the FAH server-of-choice that it pulls new projects from, goes to a different one, and works thereafter.
