Ahhh!!! Folding Isnt Working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey i just clicked F@H to check its progress, and when i clicked it, it says:
"cant create a GL redering context" i think that has something to do with my video card, because i was overclocking it yesterday(its a high quality geforce mx440) and got it to 300/400 from 275/333 with no problems, but i guess it isnt working now?!?/ i would search the forums but the search thing isnt ready yet.

I'm guessing you're using the Graphic version of Folding. There have long been OpenGL problems with it for some reason. You can easily switch to the Text-only Console version to get around the hang-up. Just drop the FAH4Console.exe into your FAH folder, and remove winfah.exe from there. Your fold should pick up right where you left off. You'll need to change any shortcuts to point to the new .exe file. HTH.

No!! You didn't erase the Work folder, did ya? If that is still intact, it should begin working from that spot. What did the Text console say when you started it up? Did you put the FAH4Console.exe into a different folder, by any chance? Hopefully we can find your protein back...

I was scared I had steered you wrong somehow. I've switched clients many times with no effects. As far as I know, it's completely safe to do so, as long as you switch only the .exe files. The work folder and data must remain in place.
What's with your comp? Are you overclocking? |

I'd still look into using the text version. It doesn't cause display problems as the GUI can sometimes do.
