dfwddr; I had coded the switch in the startup so that probably explains why it was shutting down. Reinstalling replaces the shortcut without the switch.

Since 'full' does not mean what I thought I am wondering why I cannot seem to communicate. I do have ZoneAlarm pro suite but FAH has permission to access the internet.

I still have three complete WU to send and one mostly done so I would hate to lose all that work (days of 24hr electricity usage, etc.). I hope a wipe and re-install isn't necessary at this point. maybe the queue can be copied and restored after the re-install??

TB; here is my unitinfo.txt;

here are the last few lines of the log. I just show these because it is pretty long and repetitive. I suspended while doing this because my system was pretty slow for some reason;

Thanks for the help with this.

First, you haven't lost anything but do not have any credit for the WUs that you have finished.

Second, turn off the screensaver, it will slow F@H down a lot.

Third, you can download new packets but can't upload. My first guess is to stop both Zone Alarm and the Windows firewall. When you start F@H you should be able to upload the results. I am betting on a firewall issue for now.

Let me search some F@H forums and see if I can get some better help.

Probably not a firewall issue but an IE problem (imagine that!).

Check out this thread on IE and F@H uploads.

You may have to reconfigure F@H so that it does NOT use IE settings.

IE7 also has known problems.

If you are setup to use a proxy change it. You can see if you use a proxy here:

Its a nice little tool.

Also, click on these server addresses and see if they come back OK.

http://171.65.103.162:8080

http://171.64.122.142:8080

If it comes back OK then the issue is probably the use of IE Settings = Yes.
