Alright this is annoying

Right chaps, i installed the folding text client along with EM3 on my dads computer. But the problem is it wont fold, CPU useage is at 100% so folding is launching, but the darn thing just wont do a single frame. When I first installed it, downloaded a Genome and started chomping its way through that fine (when the F@H servers were down). I deleted the Genome and downloaded a gromac, but after a whole night (about 12 hours) it still hasnt finished a frame. Ive flushed out the Wu and got a fresh one about 5 times and still the same result, ive tried it on a tinker and still the same, ive completely deleted F@H and downloaded a fresh copy and fresh installed EM3 and still the same, im at the point now were im really frustrated, and at my whits end

This is part of the log, notice it says 11:25am as the last action its now 15:54PM and still the same.

No idea i think its just one of the default flags, as far as I know.

Control+Alt+Delete, task manager, is Fah_core78.exe hogging most of the CPU?

Delete the logfile and re-lauch. My guess is that it has grown too big, and the auto-eraser doesn't always work.

It's best sometimes just to wipe out everything.
That means delete the entire folder and all subfolders and files.

Very true

First sign of trouble I usually delete log, core, queue, and work folder. and if that doesn't solve it I wipe everything and download a new client and start over
