I've fixed the black square issue, found the right folder: however, after getting both Console clients running last night and working under FAHMon, I've started both of them up again, but they're just sitting there doing nothing (They get stuck on "Extra SSE Boost OK"), and FAHmon reports yellow square next to them.
My 9600 GT is getting 3720 ppd, which I'm quite happy with.

Also, mystikl, sorry for going off at you earlier, glad to have you on the Folding Team! :)

I used to get that problem some times with my old SMP set-up and I had to back down my overclock or give it some more Vcore to help stabilize it.

Even though you think your rig is stable F@H is very hard on the whole system.

I've got it working properly now, there was just a fair bit of delay as the program got started: putting it up to "High" priority helped, and it appears that it needs to get at least 1% more work done before FAHMon recognises it.
Also, I'm getting about 4640 ppd total.
Whats this stuff like "353" and other 3 number things? I have a "353" running on my GPU, and a "794" on both my CPU cores. Is this good?

EDIT: Is there a way of saving the progress of the GPU client? If I close mine, it goes straight to another project when I restart.

The '353' is the amount of points you get when you complete that particular work unit.The 353 pointers are quite good and give a good PPD total.
The other three number things ?? Not sure I think you are talking about the Project number.Each one has a different number and you can look them up here -

http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/fahproject

If you look in your Folding@home folder you will find a log file that gives you all the past progress info on your client.

EDIT:Sorry I misunderstood you, if the client is starting a new project when you restart it (instead of finishing old one) then there is something wrong with it - does it give a reason for this "missing work files" or some other txt at the start of the log file.

Is there anything special you need to do in order to get a quad core running on vista x64? I just upgraded today and it feels funny when running f@h

I dont have a quad core :( but have a dual core Opty running on Vista x64 and it runs without any problems.
I just installed the same way as with a x86 machine.

I get about ~500PPD from the SMP client although I have one core set to run my GPU client and the other for the SMP, but you should see a bigger PPD with the quad just for the SMP client.

I am running Vista 32 with 181.22 drivers on my GTX260. No issues here if that is useful info.

with those drivers i am stable but one card folds at 1/2 ppd :mad:... this is all driver bull$*t.. im thinking of going back to the 180.48 drivers, those folded without issue. My cards oblivion/gtaIV/Crysis stable at 783 1566 and 1220 mem for hours, but i fold at 720 1458 1107 just to be safe - its definitely the drivers that are causing havok.

I'm still using 177.83 on most of my rigs. Never had any trouble with them.

you know its bad when you see this even after you uninstalled the driver from the add/remove menu, and the hardware from device manager, told it to remove all copies of older drivers... this is from a fresh install of 181.22

Vista x64 is considerable slower for folding than xp x86 with the smp client. Takes about an extra 2 minutes per percent

No worries about that. PCBs are flexible! :cool:


@mmaakk do you have some news about the new ATI client ?

Not really. What I did after installation of CAT 9.1, I went to windows/system32 and copy the files:

amdcalcl.dll

amdcalrt.dll

...and replace the files in the GPU client folder.

This way your client is UP to DATE, but minor PPD increase was noticed.

Hello again! Can someone tell me why the client will just not start anymore? I started my comp this morning and when I try to start F@H, the console window just appears for a fraction of a second and then it disappears, I'm really stumped, yesterday it ran 16 hours straight no errors whatsoever and now it won't even start.
