F@H interfering with media extender

[Ol!ver]

I've got a problem in that whilst I'm folding, my x360 won't connect to media centre. It kicks out an error I can't remember, but something along the lines of it can't connect because windows is getting battered

If I kill the service it connects fine. Any way around this? Cheers

go to Run -> services.msc

find the Folding at home service(s) and select "Pause", then when you've finished with the 360 you can resume with no risk of losing any progress

edit: you can probably find instruction for setting up scripts in the sticky and just adapt them for your needs

Cheers, the pausing was what I was doing.

I've found that if I tell it to continue anyway the streaming works fine, because obviously F@H gives up the cpu time. The problem I have now is that when I've finished streaming the service that does the transcoding doesn't stop hogging the usage, but that's obviously not a f@h problem.
