I have been playing with 3 Vista systems this weekend and am having trouble setting up F@H under Vista.
I am being told bt Vista that I can’t run F@H as a service since I am not logged in as the administrator. However, my profile lists me as the administrator!
To make matters worse, on one dual core system I have core 2 running F@H as a service, thank you very much M$. The other core keeps complaining that I must be logged in as administrator, and won’t run after restart.
What in the world I am doing wrong? It’s probably pretty easy, but I must not be thinking well at after an all nighter. I have one Vista Bland and two Vista premiums.
Many thanks and a donation to the FReepathon if we can get this solved. Plus three more folding systems.
Why should F@H need to be administrator? Weird.
Two post from my teams forum should help:
You have to run the console with administrative provledges. Start -> Accessories -> Command Prompt Right click on the icon and select run with administrative privileges. cd to your FAH directory and run the client. You will then be able to install the service.
Vista caused me lots of problems until I found “Run as administrator” and “Run in compatibility mode.” Either/of of those two solve most of my headaches.
