Micro/BAP --

Does BAP use FahSpy? There's a button there to click that will switch the display window from the log to what's set for the config (ie to check for your passkey and whatever else might be in there after the setting up splurge, BAP).

Now here's a little mental note for both of youse guys if you're interested to come back to say next week or whenever your Win 7 systems are going full blast and stable with both smp and gpu folding: task scheduling starts to matter with Win 7 apparently when both types of folding are running. It's said you should spec odd numbers of cores i.e what you have minus 1, and it apparently makes a world of difference in how the gpu and cpu play nicely together. When you get it all rock solid why don't you try it and see, you can always switch right back if there's anything you don't like or if just plain doesn't work.

I'd do it myself except I'm still on XP and seeing no reason for changing. Just something you can keep in mind for when things are perfect and you're bored. Cheesy Grin

Hi BAP!

I use the 6.34 client on my windows 7 computer also.

Here is the thing. When you do the config, you do not have to put in the configonly flag.

That flag is for configuring the client ONLY.

Did you get the configuration part of the install where you have to put in your NAME, your team number etc...?

Where it says additional flags I think you only need to use the -smp 8 flag.

It should be fine after that.

Did you set up a folder in the C drive and open up your folding client inside that?

That is what I did.

After set up you will have a folding icon on your desktop.

Clicking on that will start the folding process.

You should get that configonly flag out of there though. I think that is what is messing you up..
