I have strolled through the Folding At Home information and SURE I definately want to join in and I will gladly allow my computer serve a higher purpose

I am afraid by reading through the threads (prob. more accurate to say "surfed") I am totally without a clue as to whether my computer is savy enough to do this. I downloaded the FAH program, installed it, but when I try to start it up I get a lengthy message ....a list of things

Folding@Home Version 6.20

Usage: fah6[-option1][-option2]...

Options: -config Configure user information
-configonly Configure user information, then exit
-help Dislpaly this usage screen
-queueinfo Get information on queued work units
-delete x Delete item #x from work queue
-send x Send result #x to server then exit. Use x=all to send all results
-verbosity x Sets the output level, from 1 to 9(max).Default:3
-pause Pause after finishing & trying to send current unit
-oneunit Exit after completing one unit
-forceasm Force core assembly optimizations to be used if available
-gpu x Run GPU code on the specified display number

Please note the above recognized flags for when you start Folding@Home again.

OK (button)

It appears that I then close out the notice and that is the end of that. Kinda like a vicious circle. I read through the directions about configuring for the first time but I don't believe it allowed me to make any changes or even acknowledge what the TSF team number is....ok I wait patiently for response

Thank you in advance for guiding me through the steps to see if I can get this up and running.
