Remote Desktop & Folding

tefleming

Has anyone else had problems running Remote Desktop and folding?

I've noticed it at school. When I'll goto work, I'll Remote Desktop into my computer which promptly crashes the folding client.

Now, I've noticed the same thing with my parents' computer and my dad's new laptop. If he R-D's in, the next time I check task manager, the FAH Core isn't listed.

Is there a work around? (I can understand why the problem happens with the shifting of load and terminal services and such) I just want to know, particularly with my parents' setup, is there a way to prevent my output from dropping between every RD session and the next reboot (Its running as a service, so teaching them to restart it would be difficult.)

use something different, like realvnc or something.

i have used realvnc and similar softwares with FAH, they work fine together.

Ive never heard of that before. I have never tried either tho.

Maybe a search of the community forums would help you.

If your running gui try the cli instead. I know the gui has had problem with opengl in the past so maybe thats the problem

edit: realvnc is just vnc it appears it was renamed for whatever reason

I used realvnc as well and the GUI. Never tried the GUI and realvnc.

That sounds like a very unique problem. I use XP's RDC to connect to computers on my LAN and over the WAN numerous times per day. Folding core never shuts down. It's running as a FireDaemon service and it is the console, not the GUI. Definitely sounds like a problem specific to the way you have something configured. No problems here--with many systems as evidence.
