Problem displaying stats on CoolMon

EyesOnlyEyesOnly Sweden New
edited November 2003 in Folding@Home
It does work now thanks but i do have more probs. i followed all the steps but when i entered my user id i got an error.

script: c:\program\coolmon\stats.vbs
line: 27
char: 15
code: 800A0401
source: compilationerror in microsoft vbscript

what's wrong. this doens't happen when i input all fields but leave userid at zero. and it doesn't create the text file either. pasting the code into coolmon worked though but i still need the textfile.

    No and since this is my only machine with a P2 and 128 megs ram it'll take some time. is this related to my problem?

    since you have no stats yet there is nothing to display but I wouldn't know if it's related to that error. Click on the team #93 button below your name and you'll see that you get a blank page from stanford. To check if it's just that you have no stats yet try my name and see if coolmon properly works for you. :)

    My page doesn't have any record yet since i haven't finished my first unit but i don't think that coolmon is the source of error.

    ok i added your name seversphere but since i didn't know your userid i set it to 0. surprisingly the script worked (and drew attention from norton antivirus) and generated the textfile. i started coolmon and saw that it showed my err.. your stats correctly. Looks like i should wait then till my first wu gets finished. Thanks for the help.:)

    I see in the first post that TheSmj's userid is a 4 digit number. As far as I know userids are like this:

    Ask before connecting: No
    [21:49:59] - User name: seversphere (Team 93)
    [21:49:59] - User ID = 47B0F00155B77544
    [21:49:59] - Machine ID: 1


    so maybe something is wrong there. If it works with userid at 0 then probably just waiting on stats info.

    Could be. I'll change it back and see what happens.

    BTW which version should i be running, 3.24 or 3.25 beta. It dosn't seem to do anything at the moment but i've been messing around with coolmon and EM3 so i'll try to reboot and see what happens.

    Yeah, when I originally set this up, I grabbed a number I thought was my User ID. Everything worked, so I figured I must have gotten the right one.

    t1rhino, is there any reason at all for the User ID to be there? If not, perhaps it should just be removed from the script?

    3.24 for intel cpu (-advmethods)
    3.25 beta for amd cpu (-advmethods -forceasm)

    not speaking for t1rhino but the ID# is what references coolmon to your individual stats UserID=3254 check the end of the url string.

    Finally it's actually folding. well it did for a while fold a frame then froze and gave me a Time Per Frame problem. i installed it with firedeamon and use EM3 to monitor it. should i be using -advmethods or is that whats causing this.
  • csimoncsimon Acadiana Icrontian
    edited November 2003
    no -advmethods will only get you beta wu's and really isn't necessary since most all wu's coming thru now are gromacs ...what cpu are you using and are you overclocking it?

    No i'm not oc:ing and it's an ancient PII at 400 mhz.


    Mackanz that's the dialog. so what's wrong.

    I've remove the -advmethods and restarted the console and EM3 but it's not working on any frames. should i reinstall again and start over.

    ahh you're pulling stats from EOCF.
    The P2 400 can take well over an hour to do a frame so EMIII will probably give you an alert but the core is working fine.

    still not working? have you tried tthat reinstall? you shouldnt have to ...make sure you have it working properly before you mess with firedaemon.
    So where are we? give us some feedback on your progress please!

    Ok here the deal. At the moment it'll take like 10 hours to finish a frame. yesterday i set the priority to low instead of idle. Was that a mistake? I think it was because the wu is not due untill januari according to the program. BTW it's working on something called a tinker not gromacs, whatever that is. Could someone please direct me to a thread about the differens. i've checked the stanford folding forums but not been able to find that info. I'll try to change the priority to idle and see what happens.

    Edit. I've decided not to use coolmon because it draw to much power from my computer (only 128 megs ram and about 10-20 free) but i'll continue folding. BTW the first time used the program it downloaded a fahcore 7.8 but now it downloaded fahcore 6.5. is something wrong.
  • EyesOnlyEyesOnly Sweden New
    edited November 2003
    I changed the priority and now it's only going to take about 1 and half hour to finish the frame and the wu is due some time 3 december. Looks like i've learned my lesson. No more messing with the priority.
  • csimoncsimon Acadiana Icrontian
    edited November 2003
    Everything is fine ...the fahcore_65 is the tinker core ...fahcore_78 is the gromacs core. At the moment you are folding a tinker which folds better on amd machines.
    By removing the -advmethods flag you have decreased your chances of getting the gromacs. I would definitely put that flag back.
    Also ...gromacs fold faster on pentiums with sse than tinkers do and will get you more points per wu.

    restore -advmethods
    priority = idle

    also ...if you locate your fahlog.txt and look inside you want to look for this line to make sure you are fully optimized.

    Extra SSE boost OK

    if you don't see it then add -forceasm
  • EyesOnlyEyesOnly Sweden New
    edited November 2003
    Ok i used firedeamon to ad -advmethods -forceasm to the parameters and now it's working again. But previosly when it finished a frame it stalled and gave me an error. only restarting em3 fixed this but then it started from a new frame.

    what should i use to monitor this. is em3 good or should i get another program. BTW the wu is due monday so it's working alot faster now. Also should i delete the work so i can get a gromac and finish faster.
  • csimoncsimon Acadiana Icrontian
    edited November 2003
    I don't use firedeamon so someone else should answer that ...yes em3 is good to monitor with ...if the wu won't finish in time then I would delete it and get something else.

    What did you use. are you running it as a service.
  • csimoncsimon Acadiana Icrontian
    edited November 2003
    yes ...I used a service installer ...don't remember where I got it from ...but I think most ppl on the team use firedaemon anyway ...you should be good with that unless you want something else.
    I don't use firedaemon because I have a large farm at work ...and the admin there noticed in other labs that ppl are abusing the system and using firedaemon to do so so it sets off a red flag ...I'm ok as long as I'm under the green flag! hehe

    lol ...don't restart the client it makes the frame start over ...let it set til you see your first frame then the stats will appear.

    It still hasn't started. Then again i'm using the computer rather heavily right now. I hope that the problem i had before doesn't return. If it does i'll never get past the first frame. :sad2:BTW didn't you or someone else say that -advmethods shouldn't be used. i'm getting confused. :confused:

    It's still not showing any stats. I tried uninstalling the service delete everthing and let Em3 start it when windows starts but it still looks like the image i attached. i have an older comp a p1 that i will get running to see if it least will work then. It should be up and running tomorrow since it has been stoored and a garage that freezes in the winter.

    Sometime ago i wanted to see how the prolly looked (this was before i knew what thermalpaste is) so i removed the heatsink and noticed some white gluelike substance between it and the prolly. I don't want to start it without new paste which i'll buy some tomorrow and also last time i had it started it was really loud. I'm gonna see if i can change this. When i do get it running it'll run most of the day doing nothing but folding. But i still need help gitting this working on my main comp.
