I snagged that QMD from ghettocomp's ebay auction.

When I migrated it over to my P4 machine and renamed the folder, edited the config to my name and copied the servaney.exe into it still wouldn't start and said there wasn't any work to be done?!!

Here's the contents of the work folder:

logfile_01.txt 378 bytes
wudata_01.dat 255 KB
wudata_01.dyn 0 bytes
wudata_01.gsh 40.5 KB
wudata_01.inc 19.3 KB
wudata_01.inp 4.96 KB
wudata_01.log 13.8 KB
wudata_01CP.arc 0 bytes
wuinfo_01.dat 512 bytes

Is this complete or is there something bigger like a >5MB file missing?

I'd sure like to fold this unless it went missing.

And of course it has the client and the core too.

Well if you are missing a file, it will prolly dump it or get stuck i a loop and make no progress. So i say make a copy of it and try to fold it

If it gets messed up on you, I still have the orig zip. probably will have to run it from the desktop (or the folder itself) and not add anything to it.

If necessary I will modify the flags to give you the -oneunit option to run from the client. What did your origional Install, Oneclick? or .... :shrug:

I'll just try running it and not as a service. (after I edit my name into the config)

I've got the original zip so all is not lost. I just prefer running FAH as a service. Maybe since this was first run not as a service, it won't run run as a service now. I'll just drop it on the desktop and try again with -oneunit -local -forceasm flags in a shortcut instead of the registry like you would for a service.

Did you get the queue.dat file along with the work folder too, Audio? You will need that file for the client to recognize the work unit.

If it wasnt for the fact that I am still at work, I might do that again. Not only fun, but educational. ...like a Psychological profiling of the general populatioin in regards to QMDs :D :rolleyes:

I have run wu's both ways thru completion and never had any trouble. I am wondering if it has something to do with QMDs? or it just didnt play nice with the srvany.exe proggie?

strange. strange... at least you got it folding? I run Wu's both ways depending what they are and which machine I have to move them to in order to finish them quickly.
