Hi guys, I've been doing some wu's and I still have the same amount of points...
Is there something wrong or am I missing something?

I'm using client v7 in a 955be chip (smp), Win7 64bit...
:shrug:
 
Clearly, somethings amiss.

Click on the "Quit" button in the V7 client, wait 5 seconds so it can stop the cores it started, and then click on the "Configure" button, and then the "start" button.

When the client starts up, it puts valuable data into the top of the log file.

Then return to the V7 main page, and click on the "Log" button, and copy the first 50 lines or so, into a reply post here, so we can see what's doing.

It is much more difficult to describe, than to do. :D

If you paste it between code tags (use the Advanced editor), then it will look like this, and be quite easy to read since it keeps the original format.

It will look similar to this:
(the code tags icon in the editor is the # icon)
Code:

And there are some messages in there, that should be absolutely ignored, if you're reading them:

Code:
05:30:23:Unit 01:- Working with standard loops on this execution.
05:30:23:Unit 01:- Previous termination of core was improper.
05:30:23:Unit 01:- Going to use standard loops.

The above messages are left over errors from years gone by - there are no "standard loops" in the smp cores, so they can't possibly be used.

The previous termination was NOT improper.

For the oddest of reasons, these error messages seem to have a life of their own, and like the comic-book heroes, seem to live forever. Go figure. :shrug:

But I digress. Post that data from your folding rig, and we'll see what's going on.
 
Ok, when I get home tonight I'll do so...
Thanks for your help Adak!

-Oh! and I already received my brand new I7 2600k!!! Mobo, ram, psu and ssd will come next month-
 
You're entirely welcome, Ivan.

We'll be hoping to see some pic's of that new rig, when you are building it!
 
Sounds like a level-headed woman - but remember to duck, just in case. :p
