I'm about to download the client, but the only one that explicitly says Windows 98/ME is graphical. Can I use a Windows NT/2000/XP client that's non-graphical? Or am I stuck wasting clocks with pictures?
¡Urgent! ¿Win 98 non-graphical client?

Hmm. To be honest, I don't know. Grab FAH504-Console.exe and try it out. Tell us how it goes.
EDIT: It looks like the best way to go is by getting version 4 of the client. I'm trying to find it available for download but am not doing so well.
EDIT2: Found a directory with all the old version 3 clients here. Try that and see how it goes.
EDIT3: Now it looks as if version 5 will work as long as you don't use the big WUs option. So apparently I shouldn't have done all this editing..

504 is working, just not connecting to the work server. 
IE and that are still working. Is this just my problem? How can I fix it?

Look through your fahlog and check to see the server it's trying to contact then try to ping it. Also, I'm pretty sure the service installation won't work so you'll have to go old-school SETI on it and use something like srvany.exe.
.... How?BillytheImpaler said:

Post thy fahlog.txt, fair sir.
That's one of what it says, looking back it would have been less effort to log in to OcUK and copy it.

might be worth trying the v4 setup guide here
http://www.cancerkillerz.net/
of course it'll mean taking off v5.04 but with the v4 set as a service it'll work just as well - just won't be able to specify large WUs (hardly any around at the moment anyway)

Whoa, where did this ultra-belated double post come from?
Never mind me...

Thanks Rich, will do that in the morning. Don't expect much from me until I get some slot 1 P3s, I've only got a 450Mhz one at the moment.rich99million said:

good luck with it, I can't vouch for the install guide as it's just one I found from looking around on the folding forums - however it seems reasonable enough
of course it'll only be good for a single client as it's the graphical version - if it's for a dual machine then we'll have to work something else out

Ace-ness. 504 is working, must have been something up with the work server or my connection.
When I get two CPUs, I just create two shortcuts right? And everything is in the sticky?

it's all in the sticky
you need two seperate folders and configure one client as MachineID 1 and the other as MachineID 2 so that they don't end up doing the same work
weird that it didn't work before - must have been something to do with the connection

ahh yes true - in fact the same server is till rejecting connections nowDunky said:
the assignment server is meant to re-assign you to a different server but obviously if the server is just busy rather than actually down it doesn't quite work that way
I was so sure that it was a problem with win98 that i totally overlooked a gimpy server
