You won’t lose any stats so long as you use the same user name (and don’t forget team 36120). You will probably lose the completed portion of the current job with a reinstall.

Well I should have the jobs I'm curently working on done by tomorrow, if I don't hear of an answer to why you can't add switches to a GUI setup I'll try the reinstall one one of my machines and see if it does any good.

I downloaded and ran a new GUI installation to check.

I couldn't see anywhere to check off the advanced methods downloads, but I believe that BritYank’s instructions above will work fine.

I'll be working on this tomorrow night when I get to my hotel.

If anyone decides to erase and start over, well, its drastic but sometimes the fastest way to get folding again.

Read the file called “FAHlog.txt” and see what the last entries are. On my new GUI system, its:

[05:00:07] - Error: Attempt #3 to get work failed, and no other work to do.
Waiting before retry.
[05:00:35] + Attempting to get work packet
[05:00:35] - Connecting to assignment server
[05:00:50] + Could not connect to Assignment Server
[05:01:06] + Could not connect to Assignment Server 2
[05:01:06] + Couldn't get work instructions.
[05:01:06] - Error: Attempt #4 to get work failed, and no other work to do.
Waiting before retry.
[05:01:54] + Attempting to get work packet
[05:01:54] - Connecting to assignment server
[05:02:09] + Could not connect to Assignment Server

Well, hello proxy server issue. Not a big deal, I'll work on it tomorrow.

What are the last lines on your FAHlog.txt?
