Thanks GG, I did look into the SMP client, but it's still a beta (i think, unless I've been looking at the wrong one

) and this PC isn't a true Quad Core either (it's got 2 dual core). Would the SMP client still help?

**ashumann12** · 12-09-2007, 07:58 AM

Might be an exe that is used by the prog itself since it is labled core_79.exe ect.

If you want to clock up the points the SMP client is the way to go.

Look at Mattlock. 10k per week!

Does it do the system any harm though?

Hey guys its Danny, i turned my saving checkpoints to every three minutes and now it seems like its taking an awful long time to bang through the frames where yesterday before I adjusted it they were going pretty quickly. What should I do?

Gooday Danny, bit late but welcome to the team.
Adjusting the save time should not affect the running of the client.
Only thing I can think of is that you are using your computer more for other things and that F@H is set as a low priority it throttles back so as you can use the computer for other tasks.

ok guys i have completed 500/500 frames but now it is saying "core download error #(every number possible) waiting before retry" what do i do with all of the frames if it doesnt rectify itself? is there something i need to download? has anyone else had this problem?

**ashumann12** · 12-09-2007, 07:29 PM

That's for the download of your next WU. It will download eventually, F@H server might be busy. Checkyour logfile, it should say if your completed wu was uploaded to server or not and the time it tried.

**Jack.Sparrow** · 12-09-2007, 07:37 PM

I installed the SMP client, but it won't work

It downloads the WU but won't start it, gives me an error, then downloads another WU

Should I just let it get on with it, or is there an issue?

teutoniswolf · 12-09-2007, 07:47 PM

yeah thats like my problem!

**Jack.Sparrow** · 12-09-2007, 08:08 PM

Never mind, I figured it out

Vista and it's security issues. Basically you need to run everything as an Admin.

So, (this is for wolf)

Once you download the setup, launch it, install it and answer the questions. Then find the install.bat file, right click on it, click run as Admin. It should work then. Once install.bat has done it's thing. Find the fah.exe file, right click on it, run it as admin as well. Configure it properly. Only thing you need to change is you need to accept WU greater them 5 MB, and it's should be fine. It's running pretty nicely for me @ 100% CPC (that's the first time I've seen that happen

)

**grumpygit** · 12-10-2007, 02:11 AM

Glad you got it sorted.

**Jack.Sparrow** · 12-10-2007, 03:32 AM

me too, but now I have another issue. The SMP client runs the CPU's at 100% and the temp shoots up to 60C (I've seen it get to 63). Is that operable temp of the CPU's for a long period of time?

It's get's 1% done in 12 minutes, so should get the WU done in 2 hours, but I'm going to be running it overnight, so it's going to run atleast 6 hours.... Is that going to be an issue? :S

**grumpygit** · 12-10-2007, 09:43 AM

Whats the CPU spec? 60C is normal on some machines.

You might need to get a screwdriver and a vacuum and give it a clean out.

**Jack.Sparrow** · 12-10-2007, 07:02 PM

The computer's about 3 months old. It's those Intel VIIV ones. Did you want a more detailed spec? (2 Core Duo Processors)

**Jack.Sparrow** · 12-11-2007, 06:46 AM

I think it's the Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 Quad Core Processor but I can't find a definitive answer on Google

teutoniswolf · 12-11-2007, 08:20 AM

guys i could have sworn that i had completed WU but not its saying that i dont have any done and my last one that i was having trouble seems to have disappeared

teutoniswolf · 12-11-2007, 09:01 AM
