Folding@Home Client Shutdown.
I didn't shut down F@H and I can't see anything on the F@H forum regarding possible causes. Anyone care to throw some ideas at me?

Re: SMP Client shutting down

Thanks Donald - I'll keep the box minimized from now on.

Based on one of your earlier posts, I've amended the cpu usage to 50%.

Don't think things have changed much. It's not shutting down, but doesn't appear to be doing anything now.

Now it has stopped - EARLY_UNIT_END - and cannot now obtain further WUs.

With the SMP for Windows client, a CoreStatus = 63 can either be a permissions problem or a MPI registration problem, or both. To fix the problem, set the properties of the fah.exe file to "Run as Administrator" and then run the "install.bat" file again to register MPI and the SMPD service.

Failure to install .NET 2.0 (Win 2K, XP) prior to installing the SMP client can also result in this error.

Waiting before retry.

If a server with SMP WU's is not available or is overloaded, the client will be assigned to 0.0.0.0, which tells the client to wait and try again. This is intended to keep the SMP clients crunching SMP WU's. It is a temporary fix until port 80 connections and a backup work server are made available.) An example of the information in your log:
- Connecting to assignment server
Connecting to http: //assign.stanford.edu:8080/
Initial: 0000; - Successful: assigned to (0.0.0.0).
+ News From Folding@Home: Welcome to Folding@Home

If you are assigned to 0.0.0.0, there's nothing you can do except to wait for the guys at Stanford to fix the problem.

Re: SMP Client shutting down

Thanks Matt.

Yes I did install Net 2.0 before downloading the SMP Client. I rest the cpu usage to 50%. I'll maybe rerun install.bat again tonight and see what happens. Perhaps I just need to be patient...

Re: SMP Client shutting down

Hi Glas

Check with your Task Manager/Processes that you do not have more that one instance of fah.exe running. I had some problems because i had 2 fah.exes running


I the problems arose from aborted installation and then re-installation of the smp.

The original (failed) installation placed fah.exe running as a service. It was left in place, even after a de-install.

On reinstalling, it placed another instance of fah.exe when the client was started. The original fah.exe 'opened' and 'locked' the FAHlog.txt.

---------------------------------------------------

As a seperate issue I had the client closing down a few minutes after I had quit work for the day... I think (only think) it was possibly caused by the screen saver in some way. However during the day, when the machine is idle & the screen saver kicks in, the machine still folds... Because of the closing down at night, I missed the completion deadline...

Because I dont like having the DOS taking up space on the task bar at the bottom of the screen Koala pointed me to a very small utility that can place ANY programme into the Systems Tray.

I installed it yesterday... This morning, I note that the machine continued to run all night

------------------------------------
Comment: I dont know for sure which of the remedial actions I took sorted out the problem was, but a recap of what I did:
A) closed client down then deleted the fah.exe that was 'stuck' in Task Manager/Processes. Restarting client placed only one instance there.
B) deleted the 'locked' FAHlog.txt file. The next WU creates a new FAHlog.txt
c) Installed the Utility to place the DOS into Systray.

------------------------------------

The utility, "TrayIt!" can be found at: http://trayit.en.softonic.com/
