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?

It appears that the GUI won't work with command line switches. I have tried adding the switches to the shortcut, the program runs without the switches when you add the switches it gives an error. You get the same error and the same results if you start it manually from the Start/Run command line.

Actually you get remembered and go right back to where you were before you uninstalled/reinstalled. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling using the FAH uninstaller then when that didn't do anything different I tried uninstalling it with a program I have called Your Uninstaller which not only uninstalls it but goes through the registry looking for any leftover traces. Then I rebooted to make sure everything was gone, installed it again and it STILL remembered my name and stats.
It's not that big of a deal, I'm not at the same level as you guys I was just hoping to get into the top 200, I'm somewhere around 217 now.
