A Question

[baqai]

May sound stupid to you all i did checked the FAQ and couldn't find anything to this (if there is please excuse me :( )

what happens when electricity goes out (which is very common in this part of world) is all the work done is gone and i have to start from scratch? how does this point system works it gets saved by min or what?

pretty sure most of the time it'll just pick up from the last frame, but there have been instances where work units have been lost entirely

The work unit is saved after every frame, so you won't lose much work at all. Sometimes the program might interpret the power outage as a system instability and dump the WU. :(

My xp machines will save the work when this happens. but with 98se, it's cross my fingers time.

oh now my p4 2.4 is folding too along with my athalon 1.4 Tbird :)

I lose mine when the power goes out. I am running 98SE on all 4 rigs I have folding here at home. Just get a UPS Backup if you are afraid to lose the WU's.
