For those using vista and F@H

[Whitestar]

Some people seem to be having trouble with getting F@H running as a service. This is because standard users can't change the registry even tho users that you set up are part of the administrators group and programs running in cmd line dont bring up the UAC box when they need more access.

There are two ways round this.

1) If your computer is part of a domain, log on as the local administrator.
To do this you have to activate the administrator account and give it a password using computer management. Then log off, click switch user and in the username box they ".\Administrator" (without quotes) and put the password. You can then set up folding the way you would in xp.

2) If your computer is part of a workgroup.
For this all you have to do is create a shortcut to the fahcore, right click it and the click 'Run as Administrator'. You can then set up folding like you would in XP.

I notice FahMon is having similar issues with the security. When you go to close out the program it gives an error saying it could not open a file and the list of clients will not be saved. To make that go away one must select that it should run as an administrator in its properties or by right clicking it and selecting "Run as Administrator."

I had that. I added myself as one of the users that have full access in the security settings for the fahmon folder instead of running as administrator every time.
