Well, maybe because you have Vista? /jk
There are pages of folding threads on the main forum discussing (well, mostly cussing) M$ Vi$ta and its issues. Vista presets a number of variables that the world has taken for granted to be a certain setting. No more.
The packet error issue may also be a Stanford problem. The university network has encountered a series of problem while they upgrade the network.
What is your error message?
I've already uninstalled it...I'll reinstall and let you know later....I'll check the main forum for a hint in the meantime.
I just upgraded to Vista (got a new Dell with it on it), and it is a strange animal indeed. SimCity 4 refuses to run on it, but Ghost Recon works like a champ. Folding is the only important program (for me) that it has choked on. As far as internet goes, I like it, once I got past all the queries to allow programs to run.
Thanks for the help!
