2. Can I be a dial up user and still use FAH?
3. Is there support for dual processors?
4. Will running my computer at 100% 24/7 shorten the life of my computer?
5. Is there anyway to speed up my folding times?
---Setup/Quick Guides and Getting started---
Now that I know what folding is, where do I get the client?
1. FAH 3.1 text-only client setup guide for 98/ME/2000/XP/.
2. Linux setup guide.
3. FAH 3.1 graphical client setup guide for 98/ME/2000/XP.
4. How do I hide the console?
5. How do I run the client as a service in 98/ME?

7. How do I setup more than multiple clients on one machine?
8. Setting up your computer to auto-dial.
9. I am interested in setting up a diskless folding setup, where can I find out more about this?
---General questions- Network and Software---
Samba Guide for EMIII
1. I am behind a firewall, can I still use FAH?
2. Why should I try to keep my client up to date?
3. Can I run FAH and SETI at the same time?
4. Will FAH keep me from doing the things I normally do?
5. How do I send back a protein when I am done with it?
6. How long do I have to finish a work unit?
7. Can I download more than one unit at a time, is caching available with this client?

11. I am running more than one client and they are both working on the same work unit, is this a problem?
12. Why does adjusting the core process priority via the task manager not affect its performance? How do I manually adjust the priority of the Folding@home core?
13. Can I run the Linux version on Free-BSD?
---Other Questions---
1. Which version should I run?
2. What about security issues?
3. Will FAH run in standby mode?
4. What Time Zone does FAH use and can I change it?
5. On Stanford's stat page it has the wrong start date for me? How can I fix this?
6. I am using windows and I get a dll error when i try to run the folding client?
7. FAH looks strange (windows) or segfaults (Linux)
8. My screensaver just looks like a black screen with little dots floating around. What gives?
9. I get an error like "Format:MyForm not found" when I try to download.
10. I get an error like "Network Recv Timeout" or in the console version (or in the file scrlog.txt).
11. I get an error like "Running self tests.......test failed, error -1" in the console version (or in the file scrlog.txt), but it seems to be running OK after that.
12. When I'm running the screensaver, it crashes, and says something about a page fault.
13. I get an error like "Running self tests.......test failed, error -1" in the console version (or in the file scrlog.txt), and it dies.
14. How can I choose F@H or G@H, just give a preference, or allow the client to be flexible?
15. Why merge the two clients?
16. I just finished a WU and now I got another for the same protein. Is there something wrong?
17. How do I run the screen saver when nobody is logged on?

4. Where can I find a list of how much each protein is worth?
5. I just joined but I don't I see myself in the stats?
6. On Stanfords stat's page I am higher in the stats than on Statsman's page; I have the same number of points on both pages, as do all the people around me? What's wrong?
7. The stats say we are in 4th place but everyone else says we are in 3rd, how is this?
8. Where can I go for more help?
