Hi!

I have been reading about the folding@home project and i was wondering if you guys could help me set it up on my computer.

I went to the folding site at distributedfolding.org, and i want to fold for team 93, but i don't see anywhere to put in the team that i want to fold for.

can anybody help a girl out?!?!?! :)

    Hey! Another fem folder! :D

    I'm sure the guys will be here shortly (no pun intended Shorty.. ;) )

    First, are you using the graphical or console version of F@H?

    First, welcome to the forums!

    Second, THANK YOU FOR JOINING OUR TEAM!

    One major problem that I see right off the bat is that you may be confused about which folding project we fold for. We don't have a distributedfolding team - that's a seperate project from stanford's Folding@Home project (folding.stanford.edu).

    I would suggest this thread - it will help you get started.

    Thanks again!

    Its best to run the console as it wastes less resources, so you can download that from the download page on http://folding.stanford.edu.

    Then when you have done that, make a folder somewhere, such as C:\Program Files and call it FAH.

    Then just move the file into there.

    Right click drag the icon onto your desktop and select "Create Shortcut".

    Now right click the Icon and select `Properties`.

    Now you should see the command line that says something like `C:\Program Files\FAH\console.exe`. Now at the very end put -config, so it should look something like this -

    "C:\Program Files\FAH\Console.exe" -config

    Now ok that box and run the shortcut, and it should ask you for some info (folding name, Team, etc etc). For the machine number just select 1 and for the question like Proxy, you can just press enter without entering anything.

    Now it should start folding. Without closing the console you can now go back into the shortcut and remove the -config from the end and ok that box again, and that is your name and team sorted out.

    Now depending on your processor we may be able to add a -forceasm flag to the end of that and that will give you a speed boost, but we need to know what processor you have first....

    Hi Cuteypie22 and a huge welcome!

    First of all, if you haven´t downloaded the client, right-click on THIS and "save as" in a directory of your choice, but i suggest that you create a directory called "C:\Folding" and save it there.

    When it is downloaded, right-click on that file and create a shortcut of it and place it in the same directory.

    Then right-click on that shortcut and choose properties. In the target, edit the line so that it looks like "C:\Folding\Folding@home3.25-beta.EXE -advmethods -local -forceasm" (without the quotes). That will enable some extra features from your cpu which will make it fold a little faster but we can talk about that later.

    When that line is saved and edited, copy or cut that shortcut to the startup directory of your pc so that your pc starts with F@H.

    Then just doubleclick on that shortcut to start it all. It will ask you for a name (enter your user-name), teamnumber (93), ask before fetching/sending work? (no), use internet explorer settings? (i always choose yes here), change advanced options? (yes), Core type? (no-pref), Core Priority? (idle), Cpu-usage? (100), Disable highly optimized assembly code? (no), Ignore deadline information? (no), Machine ID? (1)

    Thats it and you should now have a fully optimized folding client and fold for team 93.

    Let me know if what i just wrote doesn´t make any sense at all.

    Regards,

    Marcus

    Here's a good tweaks page.

    If you scroll down to 2c, it gives you directions on configuring your set up. Sorry it doesn't show the exact screen, but it should point you in the right direction.

    Just remember it's team 93 :)

    Welcome to folding, and welcome to the forums.
    Other than the occasional sillyness this is a great place to get tech support.
    Hope to see you turning in work soon.

    I demanded the screwdriver smiley after someone said something to the effect of "haha you're screwed" in a thread i started in the emergency help forum... :D

    Anyhow, I don't think there's anything I can add to what's already been posted on how to set folding @ home up atm... so, just let us know if you've got any more questions

    My sentiments exactly... especially after viewing Seversphere's wack-job post! Holy cow.

    What's wrong, Seversphere - slow day?
