1- Browse to the folder with "FAH504-Console.exe"....
2- Make a shortcut of it (right click on FAH504-Console.exe and select "Create Shortcut".
3- Rename the shortcut to something like "config"...
4- Right click on the shortcut and select "Properties"...
5- You should see the "Shortcut" tab with 5 text boxes(Target, Start in, Shortcut Key, Run, and Comment) and three buttons (Find Target..., Change Icon..., and Advanced...)
In the target text box, do NOT change what is there. Go to the end on the line and add the following " -configonly"
(no quotes but include the space before the dash) Should look something like this... What this does is let you configure the F@H client easily. Now, double click on the new shortcut and follow the steps...

{this step is tricky... read the line carefully. It might say
Do not launch this program automatically, remove the service (no/yes) {Answer NO}
OR it might say
Launch automatically at machine startup, installing this as a service (yes/no) {Answer yes}
The rest is up to you... One point to mention. It make take you a day or two to finish and report your first Work Unit. Until then, Stanford doesn't know who you are... running the above will show you what you have entered and allow you to change the settings...
now when i go to myfolding page the information is correct
and i am folding for 93
thanks for the help, your directions were great

I use it because one click shows me exactly where folding is up to and gives easy access to the logs.
it is such a burden being a noob

i will need to watch it longer to see if it really works.
thanks
i am one slow folder..but at least i am accomplishing something
What Work Unit are you on right now? It should have a name like p1438 or something like that. Tell us which one we're working on and let us know your CPU type and speed and we can give you an idea of how things are going. Most WU's take a day or two to finish on even the fastest computer.
Protein: 1205 p1850_Myosin6_PT_US

Time Per Frame: 17:12 182.0
Time per W/U: 28:40:00 (1850) 35/62/13[158]
This is a lot faster then it was when i posted the information here just 30 minutes or so ago:

maybe you can help with that info...i am running the no nonsens "console"...so i am not sure what i can do about deadlineness
can i open the console or does that stop the process?
What CPU do you have?
(Caveat: Sometimes when you first start the computer the Time-Per-Frame prediction can be wildly innacurate. It may take an hour or two to stabilize.)
"adopted" from an uncle who didn't know how to turn it on...
since i did know...i ran off to china with it
