I got so tired of the abnormal shutdowns and not getting the extra SSE boosts that I found and modified this vbs script to "gracefully" restart the folding service. Later, I want to put some checking in to see if the abnormal shut down error is shown and then have the service auto restarted. Maybe some of you might find it helpful. BTW, it seems the 2106 and 7s are causing a lot more of these. Oh, well, here is the script. Just put it in a text file and call the file whatever.vbs. For dual processors, set up two files. One for each. Then run the restart script off (put on desk top and double click it) whenever you see the abnormal stoppage error. Also, I am not Guy Thomas. I left his name as credit for the original script.

I've not had any issues. I can't comment on why you're having those issues. I suppose if you're having issues letting it run for long periods, and this works for you, GREAT!. Sorry to hear you're having issues :(.

Of course, yesterday, I had a banner day.

I'm running a Pentium III 533MHz working on Tinker p1152 for the umpteenth time. Should I be seeing things about "SSE" in my log file? I read that Tinker cores WUs aren't optimized, so does SSE not apply to Tinkers?
I barely know what I'm asking. Just checking. =)
