WTF?

[Viking]

Hi,

Need a bit of help tonight....

Came home to find my PC off, turned it on and now I get a lot of this when I try to start Folding...


[20:35:44] + Processing work unit
[20:35:44] Core required: FahCore_a1.exe
[20:35:44] Core found.
[20:35:44] Working on Unit 07 [July 14 20:35:44]
[20:35:44] + Working ...
[20:35:52] CoreStatus = 63 (99)
[20:35:52] + Error starting Folding@Home core.

After a few tries like this, it downloads a new core and then repeats the process.

It'll download a new core 5 times then tell me it's going to have a bit of a kip for a day due to sheer exhaustion!

It's worked OK up till now, any ideas anyone?

DON'T PANIC!!!!

Got it sorted (just totally reinstalled SMP Folding)!

Lost my WU though (only 15% luckily)

Still like to know if anyone else has had this one though, so feel free to share...

Cheers

Yeah, he's certainly got the same error as I had, but he seems to have it for a different reason in that he's running more than one instance of Folding.

I'm only running one instance (WINSMP) and the -local flag is set.

As 'time goes by' I'm wondering if it was anything to do with SMPD.EXE, but only because Norton keeps flagging it up as a Trojan and blocking its flamin' access!!!

I wonder....

Ho-hum....

Hmmm, it's certainly worth thinking about, although as I have 3 PCs, it could be fairly expensive.

I see one or two companies are doing multi-pc versions of their software now which works out cheaper.

I've got round it by setting a rule for Norton, but when my subscription runs out, who knows?

As I said, it's worth thinking about!

Cheers
