Service, Username, Team number

I recently rebuilt my main 24/7 folding PC. I also fold on the family PC on the same network. In both cases, I have FAH installed as a service. I don't remember how I installed it on the family PC, but in the Processes tab on the task manager, it shows FahCore_78.exe and FAH504-Console.exe. The former uses 99% of the CPU when the computer is idle, so I guess it's working okay.

However, as I wasn't folding on my 24/7 PC for a few days, I noticed that I wasn't submitting any units from the family PC, even though it seems to be folding. How would I check whether I have the right username and team number plugged in? It's been folding for MONTHS and I would hate to think that SPCR is not getting any of my points. And I was getting so close to page 2 of the stats as well...

Morning Cams, have a look in your folding folder... i.e. fah1, for a file named client.cfg and open it with a text editor such as notepad or better wordpad.

The content of mine looks like:

[settings]
username=Pete_Amer
team=31574
asknet=no
machineid=1
local=342
bigpackets=yes

with wordpad and one long string with notepad.

You can use these settings too if you like...

Regards
Pete

As I feared...

[settings]
username=Anonymous
team=0
asknet=no
machineid=1
local=31

So loads of points lost for SPCR I'm afraid. Over a year's worth if memory serves...

If you check your name at Stanford themselves they say how many boxen they think you have. In your case it is 1 in the last 50 days which means you are correct - there is something wrong

Bummer

Just think though... your climb onto and through page two will be much faster with two machines folding for you.

And they'll help fend of the evil Macrumors.com for a while longer.

Okay, I've got the problem sort of resolved on both PCs. I cleared everything out (but couldn't remove the actual service, so set it to disabled).

I then downloaded the:

"Windows NT/2000/XP "No nonsense" text-only console (with built-in Windows-service-install option)" 5.04beta.

I then installed it, entered the appropriate info and am now folding. The only problem is that I now have a console window open on my taskbar which, if closed, shuts down the folding session. Previously I had it running as a service in the background but forget how I did it.

Any advice on that? I obviously did it wrong the last time as I thought I was folding for SPCR on 2 PCs, but it turns out that one was 'anonymous'. I don't like have things open on my taskbar that don't need to be there, so I really would like to change it.

Thanks
Cams

It's okay - after a reboot, the service starts up again and the console is not visible. So I'm folding again on 2 PCs! Page 2, here I come!
