not me my last wu was sent last night.

I completed a 600-pointer a couple of hours ago, but that still leaves 400-odd points. Someone else must've done a pretty hefty work units as well...

The only downside to 600-pointers is that they take several days to complete, even if your computer is on non-stop...

Oh, and i'm currently running another 600-pointer.

35 minutes 24 seconds per frame.

mines a 500 frame doing 10 minutes and 29 seconds worth 153 points. my 100th post cool.

Guys I just finished two 500 frame WU's this weekend. and started a 100 frame WU . I should have it done tonight also.. But We have jumped 5 spots.. !!!! IT is amasing... IF I finish this 100 tonight it is an extra 123 points for us!

Wow I jumped up to 16th spot from 18!! lol

Congradulations on your 100th post Qaz Excellent job! your moving on up!

Someday you and I will catch up to Matress ! LOL

how many more posts do i have to reach my next rank?

250 me thinks lol

I'm not sure but I have 97 let to get my next one.

Oh well I finished a 100 WU but it still is not showing up in the stats. Something seems a bit off there. But I do like teh fact that we are climbing up quickly!

You need to check the stats at the official F@H. They get updated every hour so if you submitted a WU at 16:40pm, it'd be on the 16:00pm stats. Uf its within half an hour of the next update it sometimes gets put on the next one ie 18:00pm. HTH

Chris

I have been checking the stats. The 100WU is not showing for us, so I an going to drop a line to F@H in there forums. They are excellent at getting things corrected.

Don't worry Winterhawk, this happens all the time. They check their database once a month or week for dropped stats etc. then update as necesary.

Even so, some units get missed, although that's pretty rare. Don't worry, chances are it'll be updated some time in the near future.

Thanks Sofa_of_ dread. i'll just watch for it. I have it recorded myself so if it turns out it does not show, i'll be able to e-mail them my WU # and dates.

Hehe I like that! Wish I had thought of it! lol Oh MOE's not going to live this one down any time soon!

Oh i should finish my 380 pointer tonight. Would have had it done sooner but cant leave my laptop on duing the day coz my house mate keeps using it and shutting it down! GRR

Wow, I have a 20,000 pointer going now...see you next Wednesday!!

Raven lol you mean next month? buy those 20,000 take a long time to run. Yuk...

Good luck..

Oh Im not sure if anyone else has it but I now have the MS wondows 7 upgrade. I tried to avoid it but the wife loaded it up.. So I hope it does not mess things up any.

lol, not according to the estimate I'm getting from F@H. It started yesterday and I'm up to 4800. The app says next wednesday, but it will probably even be sooner.

Bloody WU keeps changing itself - btw found out F@H doesn't like P2P programs running at the same time. That might be why.

250 Pointer, 18 hours to go so Saturday night probably

Trek Boy,

I'm having the same problem. Mine if I shut down even for a minute starts at 0 all over again. I'm not at all sure why.

That when your running P2P or just all the time? Anyone else got the same problem?

I do not have a PSP. And my system is seperate from everything else.

but it has gone on now for oh 3 days now or so.

You misunderstand me, i'm not referring to a PSP (Play Station Portable), P2P stands for Peer to Peer. Generally used for sharing files over the net.

I'd just like to point out to any mods here that i stick to all laws of copyright referring to downloading and sharing files.

Sorry Chris.. My mistake.

But I wonder if what I am having happen has anything to do with the new Windows update? I had no problems before then..

well the only windows update i've been aware of to cause problems in the Genuine Advantage. Go to Add/Remove Peograms, click Show Updates and scroll down to the WinXP ones and see if one called Genuine Advantage is installed.

Warning to anyone if you have Automatic Updates you will have this installed. Be warned if you don't have a proper copy of windows

Chris What does it do exactly? And would it be something that could mess up F@H?

Just tells microsoft if your copy of windows is legal or not. No it shouldn't mess it up afaik. Sorry

Alright Chris.

Well Just as it went nuts, now my F@H is working just fine again. I am so confused lol

lol do you really care now it's working
Seriously PCs do the strangest things - half of which i'm sure Bill Gates can't explain

So anyway, have you all seen that we have been growing? I mean moving on up!.. lol I'm on another 500WU that started last night and is already almost done! If everyone elses system is working as good as mine we can really climb!

[ EDIT ] 1:37 am 19 Nov , 2006.

Wanted to let you all know I did in fact get that other computer. It's an
E-?? it has an Intel 82443LX/EX Pentium II Processor. it was a Win 95 but was upgraded to a Win 98 Second Edition.

I posted a message on the F@H forums. Seem I can run F@H, but I'm making sure.

What I would need help with is I have broadband connection through Quest. My XP system is connected using the ethernet. but my USB is still open. Can I plug into that and then into the older system and be able to run both? Should any of you be able to tell me please do.. I'm lost to this type of thing.

I don't really understand what you mean. USB shouldn't interfere with it - or are you trying to link them on a network through USB?

Well Chris I was thinking I could Tie in this Win 98 to my broadband.

But I guess not..
Seems All was for nothing. This machine has no modem in it,
I do not have the type cord (other then telephone cord) to tie both computers together.

It does have a USB port.

The Cable I have (USB) plugs into my broadband modem then into a USB port. I tried it to no avail.

But the computers are still not networked.

OH well, was a nice dream to have 2 CPU's chewing up WU's for the team.

MOE what unit are you doing right now? Are you still on p2414? Coz thats the one im on. Wouldn't it be interesting to see how long it takes me to do one frame on my laptop compared to your pc!?
Would this be a fair test?


At the moment it takes me at fastest 11 min/ frame. but it can go up to 17 min.

If it was fair, wouldnt it be interesting if we made a simple database to compare how fast out pc/ laptops could fold certain unit?

or is that just me being sad?
