Well, I have gone 3-4 days without folding...I can't get it fixed. I have deleted my work folder, queue data and FAH core several times and must have messed something up. Here is the last part of my log file.

Stacy, are you using any flags on your startup shortcut, like the -advmethods flag.

Try shutting down and then deleting work folder and everything else out of the folder you have it installed in and then downloading a new console and set it up again, going through the configuration just like when you started originally and maybe that will help. :)

Muddocktor, thanks for the reply. I am living proof that you can contribute to team #93 and to the benefits of folding without knowing much about it...I don't know if I have adv flags - I would guess not... :rolleyes:

So before I do something stupid, should I uninstall folding at home then reinstall it? Is that what you're saying?

To tell you the truth, it's a miracle I even have it running at all - I somehow set it up correctly on mine and another computer and just fold away! The only thing I remember setting specifically is to accept big work units.

Thanks, Stacy

That might be the best thing to try next.

Well, I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. Here is the last part of my logfile - does this help. It really bugs me that I can't fold! What else can I do? Does anyone know what is wrong?
