I usually have my comp on for about 7 hours a day straight, at weekends about 11. This WU seems to be taking longer than normal though. sad.gif

 

I also noticed that I'm pretty high on the list for someone that has only completed 7 WU's. cool.gif

Alright. I finally got my new PC and I figured I'd join the team. But I'm wondering if it's working proporly. It's been sitting at 0/400 for a while now. How long should it take for it to go up by one? I know my computer can handle it as its got 2.4 Ghz of raw Celeron power!

exactly how long is "a while"

 

because i have a 2.4 pentium! and while i don't know exactly how long it takes to do 1 cycle/frame. if it's been sitting for an hour blink.gif , you know you've definitely got a problem

Aah, I fixed it. My router was blocking the needed ports.

 

Now that it's working, could someone please tell me how to set up all my computer in my house to do this? Would I just use the same username and team number, or a different username for each PC?

 

EDIT: Also, on the GUI, all it displays is the text in the grey area, a white line beneath it, and that funky visualisation. However, when I click in different places where there are no words, it takes me to different things. Why doesnt it show the text?

Hey guys, I think I've got a bit of a problem. First of all my comp kinda sucks... but that shouldn't have anything to do with it. ANYWAYS. Last night, I was folding and it was at 36%... then, I started the computer this morning, and now it's back to 0/400 - 0%. The logfile thing's there... but it ain't continuing from where it was last night! Anyone know what could be wrong, any help would be good, thanks! cryani.gif

Okay, I've just started using this stuff, and this hideitx program isn't working at all. I have all the paths done correctly, and the -starthide switch thingy. It starts, but it doesn't hide.

 

Would it happen to be because I'm on Windows2000?

I'm 77% through my 11th WU, and I noticed I'm pretty high up the list for someone that has only done 10. My WU's must be pretty big, despite their 500 for completion. Meh, I'm happy.

Never worked for me either when I was on 98. I tryed everything but nothing worked so in the end I gave up. dozingoff.gif

Yeait depends on the size Matt, because someone who does 50 - 100 WU's would be below someone who has done 10 - 500 WU's. I wnder how many points 2500 is? It's a big bugger.

I'm a little confused here. This thing is giving me 'steps'. Apparently, there are 50,000 of them, and each 500 counts as one step.

 

What the hell? lol

Hmm, it works fine for me. I went back and re-read the steps to that guide and I can't see that I left anythng out.

 

Did you reboot your pc after creating the hideitX shortcut and placing it in the startup folder with the proper paths in it's target box?

 

the path in the target box should look just like this:

"C:\Program Files\Folding@Home\HideItX\HideItX.exe" -starthide c:\Program Files\Folding@Home\FAH3.25-Console-Beta.exe -advmethods

...except for -advemethods. It doesn't matter if that's there or not, even though I said not to put it in there with the beta version - I was wrong at the time.

Yeah, it's supposed to di that. If you divide 500 into 50,000 it equals 100, therefore the WU is 100 frames.

 

while I'm thinking of it, I need to pm mike the updated guide for beta version 4.00...

 

Maybe I'll try writing a a ready-to-go-installer for all this crap. It's confusing enough for most people as it is.

Hey, I have a question about this. Can I put this on all the computer in my home with the same username?

well theres more than 23 because it takes weeks for some people, we dont all have 10* 3Ghz+ machines

 

have you ever tried to contact an admin and get some little announcment or something

Yeah, I know. I don't mean to bitch, but I just knew that we wouldn't have a very large team here. This is a gaimng forum, not a computing-dedicated forum. As much as I wanted to see GTAF reach the top 100 list, or gain some type of positive attention in the media or around the internet, it's just not likely to happen. Oh well, we've all made a good contribution to a worthy project nonetheless.

 

And who contact an admin about what announcement? At one point, Tank was willing to make a forum for the team, but as you can see, the team never grew enough to justify it I suppose.

Err.......

 

I just finished a /500 WU & connected to the net to send it but my net went all f*cked up(what a time) & it changed from saying "Attempting to send results" to "Attempting to get work packet" so has my WU been sent?
