team problem o.o
When I started the program I told it Team 93 -- and when I have it open it lists me as Team 93. But when I look at my stats on the folding website, it lists me as team 0.

First of all can you post the contents of your client.cfg file which should look like this:
[settings]
username=csimon
team=93
asknet=no
machineid=1
local=269
[http]
active=no
host=localhost
port=8080
usereg=no
[clienttype]
type=1
[core]
checkpoint=30
And second can you post the shortcut properties that you use to start F@H so I can see what path it uses ...so we can make sure that you are getting the proper client.cfg that is being used.
[settings]
username=Aardvark
team=93
asknet=no
machineid=1
[http]
active=no
host=localhost
port=8080
usereg=yes
Is ther another aardvark?
If you think that all is running right, rerun the config and see what you get.
I have no clue. It's been running a good 48+ hours now o.o
You do one work unit, the program sends it back, and then you get a new one to work on.
Some of them take quite a while, mate
Oh. Wait. No, that was eleven years ago.
Today I have 512 megs of ram, a Pentium 4 at 2.52 GHz and Windows XP.
I have a similar computer upstairs but I'm afraid to turn it on o_o
OH! Team number will not change until you have completed one WU AFTER you change the team number. So, if you forgot to set the team number before starting first WU, you will have points show up for default team, which is team 0.
When a new folder forgets the team number and lets a WU complete, Folding gets the WU and info that tells what user, machine ID, and team the user is part of. This is part of the WU turnin data. So, when your WU that is now running completes and gets turned in, your Team number that you changed will get turned in with it and THAT current WU and future ones will end up also getting credited to Team 93. Team affiliation is changed by WU, and by COMPLETED WU, and is changed at WU turning time.
All WU or work unit means, is that it is a big chunk of calcs to test how things work for folding proteins with changes in conditions (that might be able to be replicated in the human body without killing or making things lots worse)that is given to your machine to do.
Folding is a way to find out what treatments are likely to work for things like Alzheimers, some diseases caused by what some Avian Flu things do to humans, and other cancers, without having to do it for real to find out. It is a way to make sure that treatments are more certain to work without in essence having to test on real people or try treatments based on animal tests that got results saying "this might well work, but we are not sure until it is tested for real." Folding results can also show what will not work sometimes.
It is a way to model and pretest using things that are not gonna get hurt (by pretesting with models) if researchers guess wrong. Experiments start with logical guesses and are tests of the logical guesses. We are doing the experiments with our computers-- by modelling them using rules we know work and trying things in addition that logically might work.
Funny thing-- Folding has tinker now with 37 day credit limits from time of assignment... This lets folders who do not fold 24\7 fold, and lets people with 486\66 boxes fold.
The rework in points and credit time limits lets more people fold and get at least some points as well as compensating for the way real fast boxes sometimes really do fold Tinkers slowly. Also note the new preferred time column and how long that is set for Tinkers-- the credit and pointages help folks with Pentiums or AMD-K6\2+s get more points per year also, and get credit for work done more reliably. It lets grandma, if she has a fast box, fold an hour a day or so, and still get SOME points and add to team total over ayear's time or four month's time. This change was really will thought out.
