Hey guys, I'm sorry that I've not been able to make an update to this video, it is about 3 years old and they have made some updates to the program. I'm currently in medical school and when I have some time I will try to sit down and re-do this...in the mean time try to help each other out as much as possible.

Thanks,

Michael

i need your help! i have a problem! I've gone on the site, downloaded 6.23 version and installed, BUT i haven't the icon near the clock bottom right of screen, i only have something that appear like an "atom", and if i do double click... nothing happens, if i do right click, then a window come out with those parameters: Display _______ Configure Pause When Done Pause Work _______ Status About Forums Quit what i have to do for install complete Version????

[michaelburk67]

This looks like the "complete version" there isn't a partial version...if you are running Vista, there have been long standing problems with it as far as displaying perfectly, but it should still work and contribute to the research

i dont have the display tab, the one that comes be4 the advanced tab how do i get it?

please respond

[michaelburk67]

It's been a couple-three years since I've made this tutorial and they have changed some things, there is currently no display tab in the "Configure..." menu, but just above it on the right click menu for F@H is the display itself

I have another question mike, the folding@home on my computer folds at a average speed of 5 folds for day! Whats wrong? Is there any way to fix this?

[michaelburk67]

This could be for several reasons, you could have a slow computer, you could have it throttled back in your configuration, or any number of reasons really. It's very hard to say without any other info.

Please help me to fold my user is Raymanfan (i know its a dumb name) and team 143016

Can you do a tutorial on how to set this up on a linux cluster?

[terran698]

@danthemanzizzle i agree with that, i have a amd radeon 6970 (2.7 tflop computing power) and its not working for this because the gpu2 install is so cryptic that i cant get it to start, and i am currently in college for computer programming. maybe they should hire a dumbass that tries to install the program with the instructions and if they cant get it installed you rewrite them till they can
