In your case, I would uninstall the graphical client...

1. Right click on your red Protein O, and select quit.
2. Start-Run-Programs-Folding@home - select uninstall.

3. Download the console client for your flavor of windows, and put it in a separate folder on your hard drive. Creating something like C:\fah usually works the best.

4. Run the console client by browsing to that folder, and doubleclicking on the red O.

5. Put in your username, and teamnumber 36120.

6. IMPORTANT - When it asks you if you want to run FAH as a service, type in YES, and hit enter. Continue on, using the defaults, until the program launches.

7. At this point, when the CMD box is open the service is running. But when you close it out, the FAH client quits. You can either:

a. Reboot
b. Open up Control Panel, Performance and Maintenance, Administrative Tools, and then find services.

c. Once you've opened services, find the entry for FAH...

d. Right Click it, and select start.

The FAH client will run automatically whenever the computer is running, regardless of who is logged in, and will continue to run, even if all users are logged out.

You can manually stop it, by again opening up services, right clicking, and selecting stop. You can also set it to manual, or disable it, via the right click/properties option.

Good info. As soon as I finish the current work unit, I'm going to switch to the console version.

Thanks, that doesn't sound so bad. I'll wait for the current WU to finish, then we'll switch.

Ping for the husband to find where we are...
