SPCR

Just switched to the Windows client version (3.24), is there a way to minimize the window without ending processing? For now it just minimizes to my taskbar, I'd rather have the window dissappear entirely and the taskbar clear?

Click the X in the top right corner.

Click the X in the top right corner.

right, clicking on the X shut down the program, CPU usage went back to 2%. I want to keep it running without being able to see it minimized in the taskbar.

i think he's (or she's) talking about the command line version. you'll have to run it as a service.

heh, okay, I'm a he...

Anyway, I'm running the command line client as a WinXP scheduled task to start after I logon.

Options:

D:\Folding\FAH3Console.exe -advmethods -forceasm -verbosity 9

do I just include the -service tag? Or am I initializing the program incorrectly? Doesn't that disallow log outs due to not shutting down when logging out?

Also, the client is registering time about +4 hours beyond what my system clock is (12PM on system, 4PM on client timer), I tried rerunning -config to fix it, but it didn't change anything. It can't be counting from the stanford servers, cause those are 3 hours behind NY...

you'll need a program called firedaemon to use it as a service. i'm a bit skeptic about this, bit i'm sure the download pages has tips on how to implement this.

I got the client running as a service now, using Firedaemon. Its great, runs in teh background, don't even seen a SPECK of it in the system other than the 56C temp reading and the 100% usage And I can just check the log for progress reports!

Really nice deal!

There are a couple of ways of running it as a service, here are two guides:
Overclockers Australia Folding@Home Service Guide-Firedaemon and Overclockers Australia Folding@Home Service Guide-Manually

All of my machines run it as a service. It's just more convenient that way. I think the manual way is actually easier, once you've read the instruction and done it once.

LOL, in the time it took me to type my responce you got it up and running!

Hello:

Electron Microscope will also do this (on the local machine at least) and it also gives you a lot of info, as well.
