Stupid clients: Help!
Ok. After installing the audio update I clicked restart, but, as usual (because of F@H), the logout part hanged. So, I had to manually shut down the computer. Unfortunately, InCrease refuses to work now, even after being replaced, so I switched back to the F@H thing for Intel Macs. Unfortunately, that is also refusing to work (which was why I was using InCrease). I did applejack auto and zapped the pram, no dice.
So, How do I completely uninstall F@H, as that is what I believe is the problem?
Thanks for clicking.

Re: Stupid clients: Help!
you could be having trouble because the SMP client that is available on FAH's website expired, I'm trying to get the new beta 5 client to work but it refuses to start, I'll post about it if I ever figure out whats wrong

Re: Stupid clients: Help!
Got it:
1. Download both the installer and the Console versions of the latest SMP client.
2. Run the installer.
3. Move the Folding@Home app from the root of your hard drive to the Applications folder.
4. Control or right-click the app and select "show contents".
5. Delete Fah5 and mpiexec
6. Extract the console version, and place Fah5 inside the Folding@Home app.
7. Create a folder called Folding@Home in the library of the account you installed F@H into, and place the Console mpiexec file into it.
8. Start F@H from the PreferencePane

Re: Stupid clients: Help!
78% so far, working fine.
Though you could use the beta4 from Pure_mac.com.

I would keep an eye on wether those WUs get finished in time, the FAH guys say you should only run one client at a time because SMP WUs have a shorter due date

Re: Stupid clients: Help!
Completely removed it, had to restart while the files were in the trash because they kept on restarting, lost all work, but now it is going at top speed.

Re: Stupid clients: Help!
I am about to receive my new Aluminum 24" iMac w/2.8GHz Core 2 Extreme. I'm currently running an older console client on a PM G4/1.4GHz. How is the new client Beta5? going. Is that the one I should download to the new iMac? Will it stay running when logged out, but iMac still running. Will it restart by itself when rebooting?
Thanks for any info.

Re: Stupid clients: Help!
I've heard few negative comments so far from Team members. FuturDreamz had a bump in the road but is back on track.
Based on the statistical output of some members whose output jumped, I surmise that they installed new equipment. Obviously either got a Playstation or a Windows PC running the Graphics Processor client or an Intel Mac.
Here's a Folding section for Intel Macs that I'm reviewing http://forum.folding-community.org/view … ted_id=f56
